central condos for sale

You walk the streets of Central Vancouver with the ocean breeze from English Bay keeping you cool, and you see in the grey blue waters of Vancouver Harbour the huge freighters like strange statues made miniature below the mountains that rise in the distance under layers of mist. You turn down Cordova Street and head into Gastown, hands holding fresh market groceries from Granville Island, and you just can’t believe this is the place that you call home.

Wedged between English Bay and Vancouver Harbour, Central Vancouver is home to the city’s Downtown area split between the West End and the Downtown East Side. It’s arguably the most popular part of the city with Vancouver’s Business District keeping the pace fast and exciting. Hand in hand with booming business, the scene of Vancouver condos is also rapidly growing with developers revamping older buildings and constructing new ones.

As a peninsula, Central Vancouver enjoys a vibrant waterfront community, whether you are biking the seawall around Stanley Park to the north, hanging out by the beach, or taking a quaint water-taxi across to Granville Island in the south. For anyone seeking Vancouver condos for sale, Central Vancouver is a prime spot because of the number of new projects and the investment value of the neighbourhood. The Downtown East Side is enjoying a steady, community-driven revitalization, and the West End is a major destination for young professionals.

With a condo in Central Vancouver, you’re easily connected to the whole of the city with Vancouver’s unique SkyTrain public transit service, plus a range of local bus routes. Car owners will soon discover that Vancouver is pretty small and the main 99 Highway gets you just about anywhere you want to go.

Some good places to grab a bite are Nuba Cafe, Vancity Bulldog Cafe or New Amsterdam Cafe. Venture a little further for a meal at one of the neighbourhood's restaurants. If you love coffee, you're not too far from Revolver located at 325 Cambie St. Groceries can be found at Bonchaz Bakery Cafe which is only steps away and you'll find Apana Massage Collective only steps away as well. Entertainment is close by, with Queen Elizabeth Theatre and Cineplex Odeon International Village Cinemas a 3-minute walk. For nearby green space, Victory Square Park and Pioneer Place (Pigeon Park) could be good to get out of your home and catch some fresh air or to take your dog for a walk. As for close-by schools, Community Art Council VNCVR is not far away.

Transit riders take note, you are only steps away to the closest TransLink BusStop (Eastbound W Hastings St @ Homer St) with (Bus) route 014 Hastings/ubc, (Bus) route 016 29th Avenue Station/arbutus, and more. Waterfront Station Platform 2 Subway is also only a 3 minute walk.
