Neighbourhood guide
Living in Chinatown
Vancouver's Chinatown is a nationally significant historic district on the eastern edge of downtown, and one of the largest and oldest Chinatowns in North America. Heritage storefronts, association buildings, herbalists and restaurants line Pender and Keefer Streets around the landmark Millennium Gate.
Location & boundaries
It centres on Pender Street between roughly Taylor Street and Gore Avenue, immediately east of the downtown core and adjoining Gastown to the north.
History
Chinese immigrants drawn by the gold rush and Canadian Pacific Railway work settled here from the late 1800s, with early commerce concentrated in Shanghai and Canton Alleys between about 1890 and 1920. The district received heritage protection in 1971 and is a National Historic Site, and it has been recognized as Canada's largest Chinatown since 1911.
Getting around
Stadium–Chinatown station on the Expo Line sits at the district's western edge, and it is within walking distance of downtown and Gastown.
Attractions & landmarks
Landmarks include the terracotta-tiled Millennium Gate on Pender Street and the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, opened in 1986 as the first full-size classical Chinese garden built outside China.
Who it may suit
It may suit those who value heritage architecture, cultural institutions and a central, transit-connected location on the edge of downtown.

BC's 2023 small-scale multi-unit housing legislation now allows three to four units on most single-family lots in larger municipalities, which is reshaping what detached lots are worth. Check the lot's current zoning with the municipality, and get a home inspection and a title search before removing subjects.
Budget for BC's property transfer tax on top of the price — it's charged on the purchase and first-time buyers and new builds may qualify for exemptions. See our BC & Alberta closing costs checklist.

The ban has been extended before, so confirm its current status and get legal advice on your situation.
