Townhouses in Arbutus

Townhouses in Arbutus will place you in the heart of an affluent West Side neighborhood. As a puzzled-pieced fragment planted squarely into the local landscape, this community reaches north to south from 16th Avenue down to 41st Avenue, and east to west from E. Boulevard to Mackenzie.

A residential neighborhood first and foremost, Arbutus features large, lovely lots that spill onto cool, tree-lined streets. You’re more likely to find a little girl selling lemonade than a big box store or a strip mall, because this is a haven for young professionals and families. Arbutus simply beckons to those who want to enjoy a secluded old-timey neighborhood feeling, without sacrificing the convenience of a quick downtown commute. Of course, the community is dotted with the more acceptable boutique style of retailers and restaurants, and these businesses often adapt a style that allows them to blend into the local landscape. For example, Arbutus Coffee, serves its fresh-baked pastries, soups & drinks out of a vintage home. Additionally, public transportation is fast and frequent, but the real appeal for local residents is probably all the tiny parks combined with superlative views of the North Shore mountains.

Arbutus offers a good selection of schools, including Carnarvon Elementary, Trafalgar (noted for its excellent French Immersion Program), and  Prince of Wales Secondary. Private options for consideration include Crofton House, York House, Vancouver College, St. Georges, and Little Flower Academy.
