Vancouver Real Estate

The West End is Vancouver’s oldest condo neighbourhood, steeped in history. It used to be Vancouver’s #1 place to live in the 1800s and was home to the famous three Greenhorns. Situated next to Stanley Park and English Bay beach, it is within walking distance to Downtown. The City is revsiting its community plan for the West End (2010) and it remains to be seen if it will undergo rezoning. It is Vancouver’s gay neighbourhood. In this section we cover the neighbourhood’s real estate market, feature specific buildings and monthly stat updates.
