Quiet, conservative and diverse, the Killarney neighbourhood in East Van was one of the last areas in the City of Vancouver to be developed. Up to the end of the World War II, it was home to mostly second growth forest and farmland. Even today, a small orchard of apple trees near the corner of 54th Avenue and Tyne Street can be found. Traditionally an Irish immigrant enclave, today Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Caribbean and Filipino citizens play a significant part in this multicultural neighbourhood.
Numerous less expensive homes and townhomes in Killarney have made this East Van enclave a haven for raising families in the heart of the metropolis. Exciting new townhomes coming soon to Killarney include Avalon Mews built on the old Avalon Farm heritage property.
