Apartment Living in Vancouver's
Downtown Peninsula
The city of Vancouver has experienced
a period of steady growth over the
past several years. As more and more people from across
Canada and around
the world migrate to Vancouver because its beautiful
location and mild
climate, the city's residential developers strain
to meet the rising demand
for housing. As a result apartment vacancy rates in
the more popular areas
of Vancouver are usually extremely low and finding
an affordable apartment
can sometimes be difficult.
One of the most desirable places
to live in Vancouver has always been the
downtown peninsula. Encompassing the downtown core,
West End, Coal Harbor
and Yaletown, and surrounded by ocean, parks and a
spectacular view of the
mountains, this area boasts the reputation of being
one of the most
beautiful places to live in the world.
Residents of the downtown peninsula
enjoy proximity to the major commercial
center of Vancouver as well as many parks, beaches,
marinas, and of course
Stanley Park, one of the largest inner-city parks
in the world.
However, for those who wish to leave the peninsula
and explore Greater
Vancouver, transit service is frequent and easily
accessible.
During the day residents of
the Vancouver's downtown peninsula may be seen
biking, kayaking, shopping, enjoying the cafes, or
just strolling along the
waterfront seawall. At night Vancouver's entertainment
district comes to
life as the many theatres, nightclubs and bars open
and people converge form
all over the city to have some fun.
