East Vancouver

Slowly but surely the divide between East Vancouver and the Westside is becoming blurred. As addresses go, Ontario Street is the divide between East and West. Over the years there have been many people moving to East Vancouver and for very good reason. There are a number of amazing and diverse neighourhoods, restaurants, pubs, cafes, parks and shopping. Neighbourhoods such as Mount Pleasant finds its epicentre at Main and Kingsway Streets, where shops, community centres, performing arts venues, and restaurants all commingle. Many lucky residents are treated to sweeping views of the downtown skyline and North Shore mountains. Main - This trendy neighbourhood is coveted by young professionals, families, and first-time homebuyers. Artistic types are drawn to its varied restaurants, bakeries, and brunch haunts, and Main is where you’ll find the likes of second-hand bookstores and vegan eateries sitting side-by-side with hip barber shops, community bicycle stores, and local clothing stores offering up sustainable, locally-produced wares. Grandview - Eclectic Grandview is known as one of the city’s most creative neighbourhoods, brimming with artist communities, young families, older residents, and students all living around the neighbourhood’s focal point: Commercial Drive (known as “the Drive”).
