  False Creek - Downtown South  

 

The Ocean View apartment is located on the sunny, Southern side of downtown Vancouver, nestled between Vancouver's West End and trendy Yaletown (map). It is one of Vancouver's most beautiful and exclusive neighbourhoods - because it has so much to offer.

 

It is just steps to the waterfront, a pedestrian area with casual café's and some of Vancouver's best seafood restaurants overlooking colourful marinas with its many fishing vessels and sail boats. The city of Vancouver showcases this neighbourhood as one of their best examples of fine urban planning, maximizing the benefit of Vancouver's beautiful city waterfront for the use of residents and the public alike.

 

From there, a little ferry service takes you every five minutes over to Granville Island with its exotic market halls, theaters, café's and waterfront restaurants.

 

Alternatively, you can walk, bicycle or roller-blade along the "seawall" towards Stanley Park and around the downtown peninsula.

 

If you'd rather explore the city - after all, you are in the middle of downtown -- shopping, dining, nightlife, opera, and art galleries are all within walking distance.

 

Yaletown

 

The Marina View apartment is located on the waterfront of Yaletown in downtown Vancouver (map). In the last few years, Yaletown has transformed from the city's historic brick-built warehouse district to a trendy, upscale neighbourhood with stylish shops, art galleries, bars and restaurants.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yaletown's waterfront combines the best of all worlds: A lively, chic neighbourhood around the corner, with the relaxed vacation-like feeling that only a water-location can offer.

 

You can enjoy looking at the luxury yachts in the prestigious Quayside Marina, while sipping a coffee after shopping at Urban Fare, a wonderland of fine food products from around the world. Next door is the Roundhouse Community Centre, a historic building transformed into downtown's most attractive sport and leisure centre, offering everything from yoga to jazz dance classes.

 

From the Marinaside apartment you can walk, bicycle or rollerblade along the inlet of False Creek to the open ocean waters of English Bay. Or take a little ferry right in front of the building for a cruise around False Creek or over to Granville Island with its market halls, cafes, theatres and restaurants.

 

Everything downtown Vancouver has to offer - from shopping to nightlife - is accessible within walking distance.
