Condos for Rent West End Vancouver
The Condos for rent in the West End are found in the gateway to Stanley Park. The park and English Bay border the neighbourhood. The area was once the city’s first upscale neighbourhood. It’s incredibly diverse today, with heritage homes and around 40,000 people living in high-rise apartments and condos. The parks and beaches are the main attractions, walking and biking around the park along the 11km sea wall. The West End is one of Vancouver’s liveliest and most historic Downtown neighbourhoods.
The West End mixes mid-rise and high-rise strata-titled and rental buildings. Interspersed between are many renovated and converted older homes and low-rise buildings. Most of the development of this area occurred in the 60s and 70s. Some of the older homes have been renovated and preserved. These older renovated homes and low-rise buildings sit side by side with the newer high-rises that went up with the densification of the area. The streets are tree-lined, and quiet green spaces are amidst the hubbub of the West End.
This area remains an equal mix of single, young, ethnically mixed populations drawn by the downtown lifestyle. The proximity to amenities draws older retired people to the natural beauty of English Bay and Stanley Park. Recently, there has been an upsurge in luxury high-rise, strata-titled buildings, attracting the younger, upper-middle-class who want to realize the allure of the downtown lifestyle.
