Neighbourhood guide

Living in Kitsilano

Kitsilano, known locally as 'Kits,' is a beachfront neighbourhood on the south shore of English Bay, recognized for its sandy beaches, the West 4th Avenue and Broadway shopping strips, and an outdoorsy, health-conscious reputation that dates to its 1960s counterculture era.

Location & boundaries

On Vancouver's west side, it runs roughly from Burrard Street in the east to Alma Street in the west, and from the English Bay waterfront south to about West 16th Avenue. West Point Grey lies to the west and South Granville to the east across Burrard Street.

History

The name honours Squamish Chief August Jack Khatsahlano, whose people were displaced from the area in the early 1900s. Much of Kitsilano was built between 1900 and 1940 as a streetcar suburb, with the original line running along West 4th Avenue; in the 1960s and 1970s it became the city's counterculture hub, and Greenpeace was founded here in 1971.

Lifestyle

The area draws a mix of young professionals, students and families, with an active beach, seawall and fitness culture along the waterfront.

Housing & property types

The housing mix includes character heritage houses, converted and purpose-built low-rise apartments, and newer condominiums, particularly toward the commercial streets.

Shopping & dining

West 4th Avenue and West Broadway are the main shopping and dining streets, lined with boutiques, cafés and restaurants.

Parks & recreation

Kitsilano Beach and its heated saltwater Kitsilano Pool, Jericho Beach, Hadden Park and the seawall provide extensive waterfront recreation, and Vanier Park offers open space and festivals near the water.

Schools

Public schools are run by the Vancouver School Board and include General Gordon Elementary on West 6th Avenue and Kitsilano Secondary on Trafalgar Street.

Getting around

Frequent bus service runs along West 4th Avenue and Broadway, and the Millennium Line's Broadway extension adds Arbutus Station at Broadway and Arbutus Street on the neighbourhood's eastern edge.

Attractions & landmarks

Vanier Park is home to the Museum of Vancouver, the Vancouver Maritime Museum, the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre and the City of Vancouver Archives, and Kitsilano Beach is a landmark in its own right.

Community facilities

The Kitsilano Community Centre sits near Kitsilano Beach, and the City of Vancouver Archives operates from Vanier Park.

Who it may suit

May suit those wanting beach access and walkable shopping, from students and young professionals to families in character homes.

Buying a home in Kitsilano

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.
