City of Vancouver · Community Guide

Vancouver real estate, neighbourhood by neighbourhood.

Vancouver is a city of distinct neighbourhoods, each with its own housing mix, pace and price range. Downtown and Yaletown towers, West End walk-ups, Kitsilano and Point Grey homes near the beaches, Mount Pleasant and Main Street character houses, Cambie Corridor townhomes, and the family streets of Dunbar and Kerrisdale all attract different buyers. Knowing those differences is how you find value.

Common Questions

Vancouver buyers and sellers ask.

What is the difference between East Side and West Side Vancouver?

Broadly, the West Side (west of Ontario Street) commands higher prices, with larger lots and long-established neighbourhoods; the East Side offers more attainable detached homes and duplexes and has seen strong growth. Both contain very different micro-markets.

Is it better to buy a condo or a townhome in Vancouver?

It depends on budget, space and lifestyle. Townhomes offer more space and often lower fees per square foot but are scarcer; condos offer location and amenities. I help you weigh strata health, layout and long-term fit for either.

Do you help with presales in Vancouver?

Yes. I work with buyers on new developments, including reviewing the disclosure statement, deposit structure, completion timelines and assignment terms.
