Kitsilano
Area Pulse
Kitsilano — universally known as "Kits" — is Vancouver's most beloved beach neighbourhood, stretching along the south shore of English Bay from Burrard Bridge to Point Grey. Defined by the white sand of Kits Beach, the outdoor saltwater Kits Pool (the longest in Canada), and a vibrant 4th Avenue and Broadway commercial corridor, Kits has evolved from its 1960s hippie roots into one of the city's most desirable and priciest addresses.
The real estate landscape is diverse: character Craftsman and heritage homes on quiet tree-lined streets like Cypress Street and Maple Street, typically priced $2.5M–$4M+; mid-century and newer condos along 4th Avenue and Broadway starting around $750K for a one-bedroom; and boutique townhome projects in the $1.4M–$2.1M range. The area draws young professionals, established families, and empty-nesters who prioritize the beach lifestyle and walkability that few Vancouver neighbourhoods can match.
Kits scores a Walk Score of 90+ and is served by multiple rapid bus routes (the 99 B-Line on Broadway) and multiple bike lanes. The Broadway SkyTrain Corridor station at Broadway and Arbutus (opened 2026) has further boosted accessibility and property values in the eastern reaches of Kitsilano.
