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.

Maggie, I represent Fraser Academy and if you ever have any questions about what FA is all about please contact me. I don’t know if parents are aware that it is a school for kids who have learning disabilities such as dyslexia. It has great summer programs too! Here is the website: http://www.fraseracademy.ca I know that many parents or families have questions about their new neighbourhoods and schools so let us know if their is anything we can provide you with.
