There are townhouses, California bungalows, low-rise condo buildings, heritage homes, and duplexes.

It is one of the most populous and dense neighbourhoods in the city. Transport-wise, Kitsilano has an easy commute to the downtown area. You can comfortably get there by car, bicycle or bus.
The recreation in this area is mostly focused on the waterfront with Kits beach, baseball courts, tennis courts, an outdoor pool, beach volleyball, the seawall for jogging, biking and rollerblading, and many more beach-side activities. Other amenities are the Kitsilano Community Centre, the Maritime Museum, the Conservatory of Music, and the Conservatory. There are also community programs offered through schools.

Most car-owners will be able to park their vehicle on a Friday afternoon and leave it where it is until Monday morning, as the neighbourhood has access to everything you might need.

There you can find a variety of commercial and retail establishments, as well as second hand and antique shops, wine and produce stores, produce markets, hardware stores, clothing boutiques, bakeries, and much more. Kitsilano’s restaurant scene easily competes with downtown Vancouver.
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.
