🇨🇦 Where to live in Vancouver
Vancouver's residential areas split roughly between the dense peninsula core and the quieter districts around it. Downtown–Granville, Yaletown, Gastown, Coal Harbour and the West End are walkable and built up, several of them facing water or park. Away from the core, Kitsilano, Kerrisdale, Mount Pleasant and Commercial Drive trade tower density for shopping streets, trees and neighborhood character.
