ABOUT POINT GREY

The legend of the origins of Point Grey is an interesting one, but as it stands today, Point Grey is one of the most affluent neighbourhoods in both Vancouver, as well as across Canada. Sitting within the confines of West 16th Avenue on the north to the Burrard Inlet, and Alma Street at the east from the University Endowment Lands , Point Grey is not a huge region of Vancouver, but it is massive when it comes to stylish homes and opulent living. Known as one of the most luxurious locations to buy property in all of Canada, the price point of residential homes here is more than any other across the nation, but for good reason. This timeless retreat is gorgeous.

The History of Point Grey

Point Grey is said to have once been ‘the Battleground of the West Wind’. The First Nations has a god of the West Wind, who they call Homolsom – named from two tribes out of Squamish and the Fraser River. Whether or not a battle was waged here, in the spirit world or beyond, is an interesting notion that makes Point Grey increasingly magical. As for the name itself, ‘Point Grey’ was appointed after Captain George Grey, a good friend of George Vancouver, earning him the title rights to this amazing Vancouver community.
