Kitsilano

Vancouver’s beach-and-boutique neighbourhood, where heritage character homes and low-rise condos share blocks with yoga studios, brunch spots, and one of the city’s best public beaches. The West Side address that everyone seems to want a piece of.

Kits buyers are typically professionals trading downtown for ocean and trees, young families who’ll outgrow a one-bed but want it for now, and West Side downsizers who refuse to move further than Burrard Bridge. Condo inventory is mostly low-rise, three- to four-storey buildings on tree-lined streets, with newer wood-frame and concrete builds along West Broadway and 4th.
