Downtown Living

The Urban Lifestyle in Vancouver

 
Downtown Living is condo living in Vancouver, a city where condos make up a larger percentage of homes than anywhere else in Canada.  With the cost of real estate here, condos are an affordable option for urban living. 

Families are living downtown now; Yaletown now has an elementary school, one that's full and has a waiting list to get in! 
 
Downtown is also where empty nesters head when it's time to sell the house and make a lifestyle change.  The turnkey lifestyle of condo living has great appeal to those who wish to travel part of the year.  The water views and larger apartments of Beach Ave. and the West End have a lot to offer.  If you're looking for water and mountain views and something a little newer, then consider the towers of Coal Harbour.
 
Looking for a home with some character?  Gastown or Crosstown with it's heritage buildings with exposed  brick interiors, loft style spaces, and boutique developments might be the place for you.
 
With lots of new construction as well as interesting buildings from the past, there is something to suit almost everyone-downtown.
