Unless you live in the surrounding areas, Killarney may not be a neighbourhood you’re familiar with in Vancouver. As one of the last areas to be developed in the far-reaching suburbs of Vancouver it runs from 41st Street to 54th Street and from Argyle Street to Boundary Road. Killarney offers beautiful single-family homes throughout the area that sit on larger than average plots of land, and show beautifully!

The Livability of Killarney

Killarney not only offers beautiful homes and spacious land size, but beautiful parks also. Although Central Park technically part of the City of Burnaby, it is still in the Killarney east side community and provides pathways, ponds, a pitch and putt, a stadium and great views for all the Killarney homes in the area.

In addition, within close distance to Killarney are easily accessible shopping conveniences along Kingsway – including: Safeway, a BC Liquor Store and various locally owned shops and restaurants too. Not to mention, Metrotown is close by, giving locals the ability to browse through one of the largest shopping malls in all of Canada!

The History of Killarney

The Surveyor of the British Army – William Rowling, became the proud owner of the southern Killarney region as part of a land grant many years ago, all as an aim to develop the area into a desirable community. As Vancouver grew, so too did the need for housing, which didn’t start in this area until around 1868 when people began to farm the land. Farmhouses from as far back as the 1920s still grace the land today, as does abundant rainforest growth and natural beauty that simply doesn’t fade with time.

The Future of Killarney

As such a newly developed region of Vancouver, Killarney still has room for more development, making it an ideal investment choice for those looking to live on the outskirts of the city on more spacious plots of land.
