The trendy Kitsilano neighborhood runs from east to west between Burrard St. and Alma St., and north to south between English Bay and 16th Ave. Besides the beautiful parks and beaches Kitsilano also features many desirable shops and restaurants, with Broadway Ave., W 10th and W4th being particularly inhabited with unique businesses.

This neighborhood is very near to a couple of beaches, so if you wander through Kitsilano during a nice day you are bound to see many tourists and residents out walking their pets, or just out for some exercise in their stylish running gear.

The residential complexes throughout Kitsilano are mostly multiple unit dwellings, either homes made into suites or rental apartments. In the 1960s, this neighborhood was easily affordable, and developed a reputation for having a unique “hippie” culture. However, Kitsilano has become a costly area for buyers and renters alike. It is well worth it though, as the benefits to living here are plentiful. There are spectacular sandy beaches, wondrous views (of landscape, as well as the residents), as well as many gourmet restaurants and boutique shops. Those residing it Kitsilano truly enjoy a high-end style of living.
