STRATHCONA

This neighbourhood is one of the oldest in the city with homes from as far back as the late 1800’s, mixed with multi-unit boutique homes, detached townhouses, artist studios, traditional corner stores, low income housing and a fine mix of native East Vancouverites and Young Families. The area offers great access to both downtown and Commercial Drive, and is a stones throw to Chinatown. It’s a neighbourhood in this city with a lot of resident pride and community events. 

The gentrification of Vancouver’s oldest neighbourhoods continues, with Chinatown and Strathcona seeing new stores and restaurants opening constantly, lots of heritage conversions, as well as some new condos. As expected, Chinatown is home to a large population of Chinese residents.
