Neighbourhood guide
Living in Kensington-Cedar Cottage
Kensington-Cedar Cottage is a large, diverse, mostly residential neighbourhood in East Vancouver, built around the Kingsway diagonal and dotted with early-1900s character houses, post-war bungalows and small commercial nodes. Trout Lake sits at its northern edge.
Location & boundaries
It spans a broad swath of the east side, crossed by Kingsway and Knight Street, with Trout Lake and Grandview-Woodland to the north, the Fraser Street area to the west, and Victoria-Fraserview to the south.
History
Kingsway follows a Coast Salish route later turned into an 1860s wagon road (Westminster Road) between Vancouver and New Westminster. The 'Cedar Cottage' name comes from a home settler Arthur Wilson built from local cedar in 1888; an interurban tram stop at 18th and Commercial anchored a village that by 1910 had shops and the still-standing Lord Selkirk school.
Housing & property types
The housing mix includes early-1900s wood-frame character houses, post-war bungalows (many now with laneway homes) and a growing cluster of low-rise condos along Kingsway.
Parks & recreation
Trout Lake (John Hendry Park) on the northern boundary offers a lake, beach, trails and the Trout Lake Community Centre.
Schools
Public schools are part of the Vancouver School Board (SD39), including the historic Lord Selkirk Elementary.
Getting around
The Expo Line's Nanaimo and 29th Avenue stations serve the neighbourhood's eastern side, with Kingsway and Knight Street as major bus corridors.
Who it may suit
It may suit families and first-time buyers wanting a diverse, relatively affordable east-side neighbourhood with character homes and SkyTrain access.

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.
