Yaletown and the West End are the most desirable locations of this high-density city living type of environment. Some of the popular attractions in the area are: Stanley Park, English Bay, Gastown, Vancouver public library, excellent shopping and entertainment. Keeping some people away is the dense population, limited and expensive parking, heavy traffic, and higher crime rates than in residential communities.
