Central to Vancouver, on the southern shore of False Creek, is the beautiful neighborhood of Fairview. As with most of the Vancouver area this was once a forest covered in fir trees but years of development lead to the mix of commercial and residential spaces that we know today. This is definitely true of Fairview as Granville Island, one of Vancouver’s most popular attractions, was man made here in 1916 because of the soil dredging of False Creek.

A number of attractive parks are scattered throughout Fairview. Some, like Charleson park, are sprawling beauties with peaceful walkways and off-leash dog areas while others, like Choklit park, are small, terraced gems where you can sit and find some peace and quiet while enjoying the view.   Regardless of what you are looking for, there is always a bit of greenery and sports fields or playgrounds to be found in this well-developed area.

The Vancouver General Hospital is also a big feature in Fairview and around this is one of the most important commercial and employment centers – Central Broadway.   South Granville, City Square Shopping Centre and Greenville Island are some other shopping areas that make up some of Fairview’s commercial character. Some people might even hear Fairview being referred to as South Granville attesting to the popularity of this specific shopping centre. Visitors can look forward to perusing high-end fashion boutiques in-vogue furniture stores. Moreover, South Granville is a food- and coffee-lover’s dream as it is considered to be one of the best food destinations in Vancouver and it’s full of recognizable and independent coffee shops serving wonderfully rich and aromatic roasts. Local art is also well represented as there are a number of galleries that sell the work of local artists and many murals and sculptures can be seen as you walk around. 

The Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage, one of the best live theatre venues to be found in Vancouver, can also be found in South Granville. It is the main stage for the Arts Club Theatre Company, the largest company in West Canada and they stage numerous shows every year. 

Commuting to and from Fairview, should you wish to travel to other neighborhoods, is an easy task as there are numerous bus lines running through the neighborhood. Two stops of the SkyTrain’s Canada line are situated in Fairview along the eastern edge on Cambie street connecting downtown Vancouver to the Vancouver International Airport. You can also hop onto a sightseeing ferry at the dock on Granville Island and enjoy a leisurely trip along False Creek.
