Dunbar-Southlands (2)
These are two decidedly different areas. Dunbar is a wonderful collection of single- family houses, greenspaces and tree-lined streets.

Back to TopDowntown Eastside (16)
Rich in history, architecture and diversity, the Downtown Eastside is also one of the poorest neighbourhoods in the country. There is no denying that this area struggles with crime, homelessness and substance abuse but its identity is vital to Vancouver as a whole. The Downtown Eastside is bound by Burrard Inlet to the north, Clark Drive to the east, Cambie Street to the west and Hastings Street south. The gentrification of this area has been a constant discussion within the city and slow progress is being made to revitalize this once-prosperous neighbourhood. Recent revitalization has shown an influx of new housing opportunities including condominium developments that are popular among new home owners -- new restaurants and nightspots are popping up due to the new interest in the area.
