The Neighborhood:

Situated in the beloved Kensington-Cedar Cottage neighbourhood of East Vancouver, this home sits on a quiet, tree-lined street in one of the city's most characterful communities. Known for its warm, village-like atmosphere, the area is walkable, diverse, and full of life — with independent cafés, local restaurants, boutiques, and parks all nearby. Trout Lake and John Hendry Park are just minutes away, and the energy of Commercial Drive and Main Street is easily within reach, making this an ideal base for guests who want to experience the real Vancouver.



Getting Around:

Nanaimo Street runs directly through the neighbourhood, connecting guests quickly to downtown Vancouver to the north and the Fraser River corridor to the south. Knight Street provides easy access to Richmond and the airport. Multiple bus routes serve the area along Kingsway, Nanaimo, and 29th Avenue, and the Nanaimo SkyTrain station is just a short drive or bus ride away. The neighbourhood is quite walkable, with many day-to-day needs and dining options reachable on foot.
