About Crosstown
Crosstown is a compact downtown neighbourhood tucked between Gastown, Chinatown, and Yaletown, roughly along Beatty and Cambie Streets near the stadium district. Once light-industrial, it is now a mix of converted heritage lofts and newer mid-rise condos, with International Village's shops and the city's stadiums at its core. Andy Livingstone Park provides green space and sports fields along the eastern edge, and BC Place and Rogers Arena are right at hand for games and events. Living here is central and well-connected: the restaurants and shops of Yaletown, Gastown, and Chinatown are all within a short walk, the downtown core is minutes away, and the Stadium-Chinatown SkyTrain station sits at the doorstep, linking the whole region and the airport. The False Creek seawall and Science World are a short walk south.
