Neighbourhood guide

Living in Fairview

Fairview is a dense, mixed residential and commercial neighbourhood on the south shore of False Creek, tiered up a slope toward Broadway. Low-rise apartments, the South Granville shopping and gallery district, and the Broadway office and medical corridor define it.

Location & boundaries

It sits between False Creek to the north and roughly 16th Avenue to the south, with Cambie to the east and Kitsilano to the west; downtown lies across the water to the north.

History

Named 'Fairview' by a CPR surveyor in 1887 for its views, it was one of Vancouver's first residential suburbs, developing after the 1890s streetcar (the Fairview Beltline along Broadway) and the opening of the Granville and Cambie bridges. It was zoned for low-rise apartments from the 1920s onward.

Housing & property types

Detached houses make up under 20% of the stock; the neighbourhood is mostly low-rise (about four-storey) apartments plus condos and townhouses stepping up the hillside, many with False Creek and downtown views.

Shopping & dining

South Granville, along Granville Street, is a long-established shopping, dining and art-gallery district, while the Broadway corridor adds further retail and services.

Getting around

The Canada Line's Broadway–City Hall and Olympic Village stations serve the area, and West Broadway is a major bus corridor.

Attractions & landmarks

Landmarks on Granville include the Stanley Theatre and the 1929 Dick Building.

Who it may suit

It may suit those wanting walkable, transit-served apartment or condo living close to downtown, shopping and the seawall.

Buying a home in Fairview

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.
