West End

Where city, ocean

Ask me anything about the West End! 🌲🏞

A cityscape harmonizing with nature

The West End is one of the oldest residential neighbourhoods in Vancouver — and, as the gateway to Stanley Park, for good reason. Locals and visitors alike can easily transition from the ocean, beaches, and forest to the city within blocks.

400+

hectares (1,000+ acres) of old growth forest, walking trails, and coastline in Stanley Park. 

Within the West End, you will find the iconic Stanley Park, English Bay, and the hub of the city’s LGBTQ+ community — the vibrant Davie Village.

Stanley Park is wrapped by the world’s longest waterfront path, the Vancouver Seawall

The West End offers a diverse and eclectic scene.
It’s bookended by the coastline and the downtown core, providing easy access to urban beaches, sprawling green spaces, and metropolitan amenities. Streets are tree-lined, highrises and heritage homes are neighbours, and public art
and parks abound.
