The famously trendy neighbourhood of Kitsilano extends East-West from Burrard Street to Alma St and North-South from English Bay to 16^th Ave. Along with wonderful beaches and parks, Kitsilano has many great restaurants and shops, with W 4^th, W 10th and Broadway Avenues being particularly packed with great businesses.

Perhaps because of its proximity to two beaches Kits beach roll through Kitsilano on a sunny day and you'll see many residents out for walks with their dogs, dressed up in stylish, form-flattering yoga gear.

Kitsilano's residential buildings are mostly multi-unit dwellings, either houses divided into suites or apartments. In the 60s, the neighborhood was quite affordable, and had a reputation as a haven for “hippie” culture, but nowadays Kits is a pricy area both for renters and buyers. The benefits of living there are plenty, though- between the gorgeous, sandy beaches, spectacular views (both of the landscape and the residents!) and the boutique shops and gourmet restaurants, Kits-dwellers really do enjoy a great standard of living.
