Vancouver’s Downtown offers lifestyle opportunities that are the envy of the rest of Canada. From more-than-affordable micro-lofts, to luxurious waterfront condominiums and elegant townhomes, the urban housing mix is representative of the diversity of its residents.
The central business district and the financial district are characterized by the presence of office towers. But, aside from those areas, Downtown is also home to residential neighbourhoods, with condos and high-rise apartments. This area has most of the historic buildings that remain today, as well as several of the most notable buildings in the district.
New mid and high-rise developments in the area provide modern and affordable housing for the young up-and-coming Gen X and Millennials searching for urban engagement and diversity. The typical resident is mainly employed in the finance, service, business, or sales industries and chose this area for its accessibility to work environments. Downtown is one of Canada’s most livable neighbourhoods and its residents enjoy an urban lifestyle.
There are many green spaces and parks that make Downtown a nature lover’s ideal home. Stanley Park has walking and jogging trails, as well as rugby, tennis, and lawn bowling and facilities. There is easy access to the Seawall and to the park. The residents also enjoy accessibility to the False Creek North Seawall. Andy Livingstone Park offers a Chinese-culture inspired space and pods, as well as some of the best venues in the city for soccer and baseball. There are also tennis courts and a skateboard park underneath the Georgia Viaduct.
The shopping, restaurant and entertainment opportunities in Downtown, Gastown and Chinatown are extensive and varied. Young designers, artistic businesses and family run restaurants intertwine with major chains like London Drugs and Nesters Market. An influx of tech start-ups, animation firms and media entrepreneurs have identified the neighbourhood’s potential and brought new life and vibrancy to the area. Another shopping hub is the Pacific Centre that is home to a mixture of iconic Canadian upscale fashion label boutiques and department stores. Granville Street has stores with a more urban profile, including electronics and sporting goods.
The downtown core also presents two sporting facilities: the BC Place Stadium and Rogers Arena (which used to be GM Place. Rogers Arena is home to the NHL’s Vancouver Canucks. The BC Place Stadium houses the BCLions and the MLS’s Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Downtown’s transportation access and choices are unparalleled. The Granville and Georgia transportation centre will take you anywhere in the Lower Mainland. Furthermore, the Skytrain Station provides the residents with access to any place east of Downtown. The Canada Line Station will take you to Richmond and the Vancouver International Airport. There are also a lot of bus routes: Granville Station provides bus access to any and all destinies south of the Downtown, while Georgia Street will provide access to all the northern points.
The Downtown is one of Vancouver’s fastest changing neighbourhoods. There are always new opening, new lofts, new restaurants, and new areas. Change has always been a part of Vancouver, and Downtown is emblematic of its rich history.
