Townhouses in Yaletown

Yaletown – Community Information

Townhouses in Yaletown offer easy access to the very best of what Vancouver has to offer. With a rehashed elegance that takes full advantage of the turn of the century brick buildings, Yaletown is a stunning urban set-up with the tranquil waters of False Creek lapping at its southern shores. Towards the north, the boundary extends from Pacific Boulevard to Richards Street, while the East-West borders are roughly defined from Carall Street all the way to the Burrard Street Bridge.

While Yaletown was the site of lumberyards and industrial mills once upon a time, the area was completely revitalized for the 1986 World Exposition—better known as Expo ’86. Since then, Yaletown has been reborn as a residential oasis that’s defined by its flower-filled parks, luxurious eateries, and turn of the century buildings that house some of the best shopping in the city. Grocery stores, delis, liquor stores, dry cleaners, fashion shops, theaters, and restaurants all exist within walking distance. Throw in some of the most accessible public transportation in the city, and it’s no wonder why Yaletown is the preferred stomping ground for the city’s young and affluent. While the appeal of this wine and dine lifestyle is self-explanatory, the community also caters to the more practical aspects of family living. For example, Elsie Roy Elementary lies at the very heart of the district. In the neighboring West End, commuters have access to Lord Roberts Elementary and King George Secondary School, which caters to older children. For private schools, Pattison High School, and the Westside Preparatory School are viable options, while SFU’s Harbourside branch, the Seymour Street location of BCIT, and UBC’s downtown campus are just a short commute away for adult students.
