Everything I Love About Kits

June 15th, 2006 Categories: Kitsilano, Vancouver Real Estate

In this blog I’ll be sharing with you all the reasons why Kitsilano is one of Vancouver’s most sought-after neighbourhoods.

The nearness to the beach is big on this list, but also the vital community, the character houses, and the treed streets. New developments reflect the desire of so many Vancouverites to live in Kits, and these are (by and large) clearly integrated within the existing look and feel of the community.

Older historic homes have been kept in beautiful condition, many of the apartments built in the mid-sixties have been converted to strata suites, and year-round the residential streets are alive with the varied activity of singles, couples, and families - on foot, on bikes, with or without dogs. Kitsilano’s proximity to downtown is definitely a plus.
