Kitsilano Living

in Kitsilano

As you can see from the stats in my last posting, Kitsilano is one of Vancouver’s most sought-after neighbourhoods. So many people want to live here, and there is good reason for this. Not only is it close to downtown, but the beach is so close. In the early days of Vancouver, this beach was used for outdoor camping, and archival photos show lines of tents along the beach in the summertime. It’s still an extremely popular beach, and today, along the seawalk/bikepath that goes around Kits Point connecting to False Creek, you can see all the sunscreened people playing at the volleyball nets. On days like today the beach is filled with people enjoying themselves in the sun, or having a picnic at a table in the shade of the trees. Living in Kits means access to the beach, by bike or walking. And when summer ends, and the crowds have gone home, the beach is still there waiting for you.
Next time you’re on Broadway and 4th you can see the Greek restaurants and stores in their connection to the early days of Kitsilano, when it was home to Vancouver’s Greek community. Acknowledging that heritage, yesterday was the annual Greek Day, part of Hellenic Culture week.
