Marpole is one of the outermost regions of the City of Vancouver, the first area that visitors see when arriving form the Vancouver Airport. It is approximately bordered by Angus Drive to the west, 57th Avenue to the north, Main Street to the east and the Fraser River to the south.
One of Vancouver's oldest neighbourhoods, Marpole's tone changes in different areas. While there are some residential zones, with old, craftsman styles houses on quiet, tree-lined streets, the area's proximity to the Oak Street Bridge (turning into Highway 99, which leads to southern suburbs, and the Canada/US Border) and the Arthur Laing Bridge (leading to The Vancouver International Airport and Richmond), means that Marpole gets a lot of traffic jams.
Marpole has an industrial area, along the banks of the Fraser river, and a shopping district, located on the South End of Granville Street.
