Neighbourhood guide
Living in Gastown
Gastown is Vancouver's oldest neighbourhood, a compact historic district of restored Victorian and Edwardian brick warehouses on downtown's northeast edge. Cobbled Water Street, boutiques, restaurants and the tourist-famous steam clock define it.
Location & boundaries
It is a roughly six-block district bounded by Cordova Street to the north, Hastings Street to the south, Cambie Street to the west and Columbia Street to the east, adjoining downtown, Chinatown and the waterfront.
History
The settlement grew from an 1867 saloon opened by John 'Gassy Jack' Deighton and became a trade centre before the Great Fire of 1886. It was rebuilt in brick and stone, and most Water Street buildings date from 1888 to 1912; a heritage revitalization added the steam clock in 1977.
Shopping & dining
Water Street is the main spine, lined with design shops, boutiques, galleries, restaurants and bars, meeting at Maple Tree Square.
Getting around
Waterfront station, on the district's north side, links the Expo Line, Canada Line, SeaBus and West Coast Express, and Stadium–Chinatown station is a short walk south.
Attractions & landmarks
The Gastown steam clock and Maple Tree Square, where Water, Carrall and Alexander Streets meet, are the best-known landmarks.
Who it may suit
It may suit those wanting a historic, walkable downtown-edge district with heritage lofts and strong dining and nightlife.

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.
