Vancouver Real Estate

Vancouver’s Downtown neighbourhood began being built in the mid ’90s and there are few lots remaining for development. The area is east of Burrard Street, south of Robson, west of Quebec and north of the body of water known as False Creek. The old downtown was originally called Yaletown, after the men who came in by train from a town called Yale, to build the city. The area includes Downtown, False Creek North, Gastown and Coopers Landing. The area is an easy walk or bus ride to the Business District and enjoys easy access to the seawall, restaurants, shops and theatres
