Neighbourhood guide

Living in West End

The West End is Vancouver's densest residential neighbourhood, a walkable downtown-peninsula district of leafy streets, low-, mid- and high-rise apartments, beaches and easy access to Stanley Park.

Location & boundaries

West of the downtown core, it is bounded on three sides by water — English Bay, Coal Harbour and Lost Lagoon in Stanley Park — with Robson, Davie and Denman as its main streets. Yaletown lies to the southeast.

History

The West End was one of Vancouver's earliest fashionable residential districts in the late 1800s; after the elite decamped to the new Shaughnessy subdivision in the early 1900s, it gradually redeveloped into the dense apartment neighbourhood seen today.

Lifestyle

It is one of the most pedestrian-friendly neighbourhoods in Canada, with Davie Village a long-standing centre of the city's LGBTQ community.

Housing & property types

Housing is overwhelmingly rental and strata apartments in low-, mid- and high-rise buildings, including many older walk-ups on tree-lined side streets.

Shopping & dining

Robson, Davie and Denman streets are lively shopping and dining strips, with Robson a busy retail corridor and Davie Village a hub for nightlife.

Parks & recreation

Stanley Park is minutes away, and English Bay Beach, Sunset Beach and the seawall provide waterfront recreation along the neighbourhood's edges.

Schools

The Vancouver School Board serves the West End with Lord Roberts Elementary and King George Secondary.

Getting around

The West End has no SkyTrain station of its own; Burrard Station on the edge of downtown is the closest, and frequent buses run along Robson, Davie, Denman and Georgia streets.

Attractions & landmarks

Stanley Park, English Bay, Robson Street and Davie Village are the neighbourhood's best-known destinations.

Community facilities

The West End Community Centre and the Joe Fortes branch of the Vancouver Public Library serve residents, and St. Paul's Hospital sits on the neighbourhood's eastern edge.

Who it may suit

May suit renters and downsizers wanting a highly walkable, car-optional lifestyle near the beach and Stanley Park.

Buying a home in West End

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.
