Townhouses in Downtown

Townhouses in Downtown East place residents in a neighbourhood that incorporates CRAB Park and stretches down to Pacific Boulevard. With the east and west boundaries tucked between Carrall and Main Street, this tiny patch of real estate represents one of Vancouver’s fastest changing neighbourhoods.

Life in the Downtown East means joining an eclectic collection of cultures and peoples, where historic neighbourhoods like Chinatown and Gastown put Vancouver’s colourful past right at your doorstep. There’s always plenty to do and see. And all this growth is at least partly spurred by all the new building development, which has afforded unique spaces to work and play for Vancouver’s homegrown hipsters and young professionals. Join a community that’s more colourful and diverse that you could ever imagine. Trendy art shops and design studios seamlessly meld with the small, family-run businesses that have held tenancy for generations. Major chains stores like Army and Navy and Nestor’s are also conveniently accessible and add to the mishmash that makes life so vibrant and fun. Believe it or not, this neighbourhood has evolved into a food lover’s delight with many fusion-inspired creations to titillate the palette of the sophisticated gastronome. From the flourishing Fluevog-driven fashion scene to the gigantic glass-encased galleries of fine furniture, the Downtown East is full of inspiration, causing tourists and locals to flock there year-round. As far as schooling, post-grads, in particular, will find this location ideal as SFU, BCIT and UBC all have campuses downtown. For younger students, nearby options include Elsie Roy Elementary, Lord Strathcona and Admiral Seymour Elementary. Additionally, King George Secondary is a quick drive away. Commuting is convenient as good accessibility to all forms of public transportation has played a major role in neighbourhood redevelopment. Get from point A to B using the SeaBus, Harbour Air, Skytrain, Translink Bus Service, Canada Line, or West Coast Express Rail. It’s all within reach.

Townhouses in Downtown East

In terms of housing, few areas offer the range of the Downtown East. From the blue-green glass condos to transitional microlofts, this locale has something for every taste and every budget. Neighbourhoods are a balanced mix of urban millennials and empty nesters who have been attracted by the convenience and amenities of downtown living. Mid- and high-rise developments offer comfortable, modern housing for the up-and-comers while those who have already cashed in on the housing market might consider a waterfront townhouse that captures the superlative natural views of beautiful British Columbia.
