Vancouver East

Most parts of the East Side are now home to a multicultural community of people who like living close to the downtown working class core while spending less money on a home than they would in Vancouver West. This location provides easy access to many points in and out of the city.

 

 The long time Italian District, "Commercial Drive", offers a one of a kind retail and restaurant experience while being 5 from downtown Vancouver. Just north of "The Drive" is an old Vancouver neighbourhood bordered by Vancouver's Industrial Waterfront.

The "Wall Street " area has the oldest and second largest park in the city, an outdoor swimming pool and is both a 10 minute drive to downtown Vancouver and Grouse Mountain.

Just south of both these neighbourhoods is an area east of Queen Elizabeth Park. This is a quiet family area with good transportation links to other parts of the city. It is walking distance to the largest antique shopping district, along Main Street. below: Queen Elizabeth Park.

Just to the west of Commercial Drive is "Strathcona", Vancouver's oldest and most actively gentrifying neighbourhood. This area has the largest collection of original turn-of-the-century homes, and is walking distance to Chinatown and downtown and the Seaside Stanley Park bicycle route.
