The latest trends in townhouse prices in the area show that the average price went through a downwards trend at the end of 2018 and beginning of 2019. However, by the end of the year 2019 and the first month of 2020, there has been a slight increase in the average sale price. These are relatively minor movements, and the prices have remained mostly stable.
Kitsilano was, in the 1960s, a hippy hangout that used to be compared to Haight-Ashbury, in San Francisco. Nowadays, it retains most of its culture, but the demographic composition of the neighbourhood is now made up of young families and urban professionals that look for the modern interpretation of that atmosphere.
