Nested on the south side of Downtown Vancouver across from English Bay is the beautiful neighbourhood of Kitsilano. Known for it’s food, shopping, beach, tree-lined streets and social lounging, Kits (as it’s casually known) is a sought after community many dream of being part of. Kits is also a hood known for helping to fuel the Vancouver Real Estate market.

Originally a Greek neighbourhood, many cultural and culinary changes have taken place over the last 20 years. Although you can still hardly go a block without finding a great Greek restaurant, the mix has grown to offer fantastic Sushi, Vegetarian, Italian, Indian, Chinese and of course, West-coast Infusion (a fancy word for foods that have salmon), to name a few.

If its shopping you’re into then the endless amounts of boutique style shops along 4th Ave and Broadway are sure to satisfy your addiction of racking up your credit card. Fine Italian suits, shoes from Paris, Canadian antique furniture, vintage records, organic markets and trendy baby stores are just a few of the many choices you’ll encounter. Definitely not cheap but if you look hard enough you’re sure to find a deal.

In the height of the summer months you can, on any given day (unless its raining), drive or walk past beautiful Kits beach and wonder how you would possibly squeeze another beach blanket onto the grassy and sandy sprawl. Literally hundreds of sun seekers jockey for a good spot either to sun bathe, watch the endless beach volleyball games, play Frisbee or bocce ball, enjoy a picnic or simply people watch. Most of the time it’s a little of all of that. You won’t catch everyone going for a swim (as with most cities with oceans close to a large urban population) but there is many a diehard that is ok with it.

The lush tree-lined streets of the spring, summer and early fall months really give the feel of a rainforest oasis. Million dollar houses (on the cheap side) and a great mix of low-rise condo buildings and rental apartments make for an interesting blend that makes Kits a truly diverse neighbourhood. With UBC (University of British Columbia) only minutes to the west, students make up a good percentage of the rental market, grabbing suites in the basements of 100-year-old character homes. The Vancouver Real Estate market loves these old houses with suites in them.

Quite possibly the greatest draw of Kitsilano is the social aspect. Pull up a chair in a sidewalk lounge and enjoy a coffee, beer or a glass of BC wine and watch the people filled sidewalks bustle with activity. So busy yet so laid back in the same breath. The people are friendly and outgoing and really enjoy a lazy Saturday afternoon taking in the beauty of the neighbourhood.

The prices of Real Estate in Kitsilano have gotten out of reach for many that want to make a home in Vancouver. Houses that cost $500,000 10 years ago will now go for over $1M and condos that were $200,000 have more than doubled as well. Yet with these high prices there are still young professionals with dreams of growing their families flocking to this great neighbourhood. I have made it my home for 14 years and can’t imagine leaving. Kitsilano is without question the “Jewel of Vancouver”.
