About Gastown
Gastown is Vancouver's oldest neighbourhood and a National Historic Site, the cobblestone district where the city was founded in 1886. Centred on Maple Tree Square and Water Street, between Cordova Street and the Burrard Inlet waterfront, it is defined by Victorian-era brick warehouses now converted into loft homes, design studios, restaurants, and boutiques - plus the landmark Gastown Steam Clock. Living here means heritage character with downtown convenience: the restaurants, cafes, and shops of Water and Carrall Streets are at the doorstep, the downtown core and Chinatown are a short walk, and the harbour and Crab Park sit just to the north. Transit is excellent - Waterfront Station, a few minutes' walk west, connects the SeaBus, SkyTrain, Canada Line, and West Coast Express, tying together the North Shore, downtown, and the airport.
