About West End

The West End is one of Canada's densest and most walkable neighbourhoods, a leafy residential pocket on the downtown peninsula bordered by Stanley Park, Burrard Street, Coal Harbour, and English Bay. Its character comes from tree-lined heritage streets and one of the country's largest concentrations of mid-rise rental apartments, many built in the 1960s and 70s. The waterfront defines its edges: English Bay Beach and Sunset Beach line the south shore, the seawall runs from Stanley Park around to False Creek, and Stanley Park's forest and trails sit at the western end. Daily life centres on three lively streets - Davie Street (the heart of Davie Village), Denman Street, and Robson Street - full of restaurants, cafes, grocers, and shops, so most errands are a short walk. Frequent transit and the downtown core are minutes away, making a car optional.
