Just south of Mount Pleasant is Vancouver’s Main Street neighborhood. This unique neighborhood attracts diverse residents due to its charm and many entertainment options.
Main Street is known to Vancouverites for its “Restaurant Row,” a strip of pubs, bars, and restaurants to satisfy any dining mood. This is complimented by an variety of boutiques and thrifting stores, which really give the neighborhood its hipster vibe.
Mount Pleasant is one of Vancouver’s trendiest neighborhoods. High demand has resulted in many lofts, condo buildings, and strata properties on the busy streets, while a mix of heritage homes, and high-end detached properties provide a community feel. A mix or bars, restaurants, independent coffee shops, and boutique shopping attract many young professionals and visitors to the area, making it attractive for young home buyers and investors alike.
Perhaps one of the largest transformations to the Lower Mainland in the last decade has been in Olympic Village. A previous industrial hub, the area has since been revitalized to mixed use waterfront space. Condos built to house the athletes during the 2010 Winter Olympics are now some of Vancouver’s most coveted buildings, including Canada House, Shoreline, Brook, Bridge, Kayak, and Sails.
