Cambie, Vancouver East Side

Cambie is a neighbourhood in Vancouver East Side with 0 rentals currently available and 15 residential buildings managed by Unique Accommodations. We have placed tenants in 37 properties in Cambie over the years. Cambie runs up the centre of the city along the Cambie Street corridor between West Broadway and West 41st Avenue, a fast-growing spine transformed by the Canada Line. Its character mixes the Cambie Village shopping district near 18th with newer mid-rise condos and townhomes along the corridor and quiet single-family streets on either side. Queen Elizabeth Park and the Bloedel Conservatory crown the high point with gardens and panoramic views, and Hillcrest Centre and Nat Bailey Stadium sit nearby. Transit is the draw: the Canada Line's Broadway-City Hall, King Edward, and Oakridge-41st stations put downtown and the airport minutes away without a car, and City Hall and Vancouver General Hospital anchor the north end. Cambie suits anyone who wants modern, transit-oriented housing along a green, central corridor with major parks and two hospitals close by.
