Discovering Vancouver

One of my favourite neighbourhoods in Kitsilano is Arbutus Walk.
Do you remember the Carlings O’Keefe Brewery industrial lands that used to be here, prior to 1996? That’s when the transformation to residential began. The hood is now built out and contains more than 1000 condos and townhomies, in over 12 buildings. There was quite an outcry from the hood in the initial planning stages as the City wanted to build midrise condos.
The hood is very conveniently situated, bordered by Arbutus, 12th, Vine and West Broadway. It is a short commute to downtown Vancouver and a short walk to Kits Beach. It is surrounded by many beautiful green spaces and possesses all the neighbourhood services.
