Neighbourhood Guide / Downtown peninsula

West End

High street: Denman Street and Davie Street. A short read on the character of the area, what is nearby, and what the numbers look like.

Character

Dense, leafy and social, between Stanley Park and English Bay. Older rental towers and character conversions sit on tree lined side streets, with two of the city's most active high streets running through it.

Dog parks

Off leash areas are set by the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation and the rules change by season and time of day. Check the park finder before you commit to a routine.

Beaches and parks

This area has water access, so beach and seawall time is part of daily life. The Park Board pages list facilities, washrooms and seasonal lifeguards.

Catchments move, and a listing sheet is not proof of the school assigned to an address. Confirm the catchment before you write an offer.
