Our ground floor suite is in a beautiful quiet area of the City of Vancouver. We’re amongst mature leafy green trees on the streets, with mostly single family homes. Our neighbours are mostly families or mature couples.
The suite is attached to our main home which is a heritage older cottage. The main part of the house is also listed for exchange. It is possible they may be combined for a larger space for families.
We are located in the neighbourhood of Dunbar. It is a very short walk to the nearest bus stop just at corner of our street, which goes directly into Vancouver city centre.
We also have the beautiful Pacific Spirit Regional Park nearby (15mins walk) with an amazing network of trails for walking, running or cycling.
We’re close by to the University of British Columbia campus - again a short bus ride away.
Please note, I’m still Work in progress with setting up this home, and hoping to get it finalized with more photos etc in the coming weeks. Calendar Availability is not yet known for Winter 2026/27 or 2027.
