YALETOWN

Formerly a heavy industrial area dominated by warehouses and rail yards, it has been transformed into one of the most densely populated neighbourhoods downtown over the last 30 years. Thanks to the high density of the neighbourhood, there are great restaurants, local shopping and amenities, generous sized parks and lots of waterfront access along the famous Vancouver Seawall. In terms of real estate, you’ll find only townhomes and condos, ranging from studio suites to penthouses, with a few restored warehouse lofts in the mix. The buildings along the water offer sunny southern views over False Creek. The Yaletown waterfront is home to Elsie Roy Elementary School and Emery Barnes Park, a fenced off leash dog park and kids playground. This is a very central, walkable, energetic part of town. You can find most of the amenities and restaurants along Mainland St and Hamilton St including a ton of great patios, high quality restaurants and bars and lots of beauty salons.
