Townhouses in Killarney

Townhouses in Killarney will put you at the centre of a thriving and expansive community. Located in East Vancouver, the neighbourhood boundaries lie between East 41^st and 54^th Ave north to south, and Boundary to Victoria/Argyle east to west.

As the name suggests, Killarney was once a pocket mainly settled by Irish immigrants. Today, as one of Vancouver’s most affordable districts, it has evolved into an eclectic multicultural hub where heritage properties mix in with exciting new developments. The community as it stands sprang up largely after the Second World War. Before that, it was a smattering of farmhouses and orchards, some of which can still be seen around the neighborhood. Spend an afternoon in the green sanctuary known as Everett Crowley Park before heading to the shops and cafes at Champlain Square, where you can satisfy everything from banking needs to your daily soy latte fix. For the family minded, Killarney Community Centre, located Rupert and East 49th Ave, offers facilities for swimming and skating as well as a computer lab, games room, youth centre, snack bar, and dance studio.

With its conservative, family-oriented roots, Killarney offers a good selection of schools including Waverly, MacCorkindale, Sir Charles Kingford-Smith, and Dr. George M. Weir. For older students, the impressive Killarney Secondary on 41^st offers a sterling reputation and many varied programs.

Townhouses in Killarney tend to be a mixed bag. While newer developments are craftsman-style homes with beautifully modern interiors, older properties feature the space and solid construction that’s hard to find today. Either way, Killarney townhouses offer a good compromise of livability and affordability for property virgins as well as young families looking for more space.
