Townhouses in Mount Pleasant East

Community Information

Townhouses in Mount Pleasant  East place you squarely in a neighborhood that’s both livable and affordable. Running along the False Creek waterfront, Mount Pleasant extends west to Ontario Street, east to Main Street and all the way south to Clark Drive.

As an emerging neighbourhood, Mount Pleasant is a hidden gem that’s defined by its quirky coffee-drinking, craft beery vibe. With an eclectic collection of independent retailers such as Slickity Jim’s Chat ‘n’ Chew, Mount Pleasant tempers its artistic edge with a warm, welcoming demeanour. Residential and commercial areas are wonderfully accented by beautiful playgrounds, sparkling streams, and green spaces like Tea Swamp Park, so-named for the tea plants that once grew so abundantly in the area. A one-time hub of the Vancouver art scene, Mount Pleasant remains a haven for the hip. Both the young and young at heart will delight in the tiny entertainment venues and independent eateries that permeate the neighborhood, keeping the big brands in check. For foodies, Mount Pleasant is a mecca, dominated by mom-and-pop style establishments where the food is served fresh and everybody knows your name. As far as schools, options include Admiral Seymour Elementary, Nightingale Elementary, Fraser Elementary, and the historic Lord Strathcona Elementary, which was founded in 1891. Secondary students can go to Sir Charles Tupper Secondary, which lies just beyond the southern boundary. Alternatively, Templeton Secondary sits on the eastern border. Accessible secondary institutions include Vancouver Community College and the Great Northern Way Campus, which is a collaborative project involving UBC, SFU, and BCIT. Private options for consideration include St. Francis Xavier, St. Patrick’s Elementary, and St. Patrick’s Secondary.

Townhouses in Mount Pleasant East

Like most Vancouver neighbourhoods, the landscape was once dominated by large, single family homes. However, many of these have since been transformed into multi-family dwellings. Growing demand has also spurred construction, resulting in a good selection of low-rise condos, townhouses, and lofts, which range from the modest to the modestly luxurious. With abundant bus and bike routes and easy access to the Expo and Millennium lines, Mount Pleasant offers downtown accessibility without the uptown price tag.
