Point Grey
Area Pulse
Point Grey is one of Vancouver's most prestigious residential neighbourhoods, occupying the northwest tip of the city's West Side peninsula with sweeping views of the Strait of Georgia, the Gulf Islands, and Vancouver Island. Bounded by Spanish Banks Beach to the north, Jericho Beach to the east, and the University of British Columbia campus to the west, Point Grey offers a rare combination of ocean-facing luxury living and immediate access to world-class parks and beaches.
The neighbourhood is dominated by large detached character homes — Craftsman, Colonial, and custom contemporary — on generous lots along Chancellor Boulevard, NW Marine Drive, and the streets above Spanish Banks. Prices typically range from $3M for a smaller character home to $10M+ for trophy properties on NW Marine Drive with direct ocean views. Condos in the area are rare and command premium prices, typically in the $1.2M–$2.5M range for newer boutique buildings.
Point Grey is the catchment for some of Vancouver's most competitive public schools, including Queen Mary Elementary and Lord Byng Secondary — one of VSB's highest-rated secondaries. The neighbourhood's proximity to UBC, Pacific Spirit Regional Park, and the Jericho Sailing Centre makes it exceptionally popular with academics, established professionals, and families prioritizing outdoor lifestyle.
