Westside

If you’re after a relaxed atmosphere, look to Vancouver’s Westside. Live close to the beach and UBC in Point Grey, Kitsilano, or South Granville. Spend weekends at Jericho Sailing Centre or Kits Beach, stroll along West 4^th Avenue (pay a visit to the original Lululemon store), then enjoy dinner at locals’ favourite Farmer’s Apprentice. Prefer a location closer to the airport? Try Marine Gateway–only 12 minutes to YVR via the Canada Line and home to Douglas Coupland’s dazzling public art piece: a 43-feet tall Golden Tree. Birds Nest Properties offers Westside Vancouver property management that connects renters and homeowners to the easygoing, coastal lifestyle this area is known for.
