South Vancouver runs along East 49th Avenue to the Fraser River, and Knight Street to Ontario Street, located at the most south-western point of Vancouver’s east. It offers an abundance of diversity, with many shopping and dining options to choose from, and includes the area known as “Little India” – providing a micro-culture experience within this multicultural environment.

The Livability of South Vancouver

With the Punjab Market running along 50th and Main Street, it brings with it sweets, textiles, Indian food and an assortment of other cultural enjoyments, which isn’t only a staple spot for those who have invested in real estate in South Vancouver, but also a destination point for tourists and locals in other neighbouring areas.

Also, with the highest concentration of jewelers in Canada in this area, it is also where many flock to for high-quality gold, among other beautiful jewels and gems.

The History of South Vancouver

South Vancouver was an independent municipality that sprung up in 1892, after Vancouver proper began to boom and a demand for affordable housing arose. Originally including Point Grey, this fell to the wayside in 1908, and in 1909 the first public school was built to the east of Fraser Street.

By 1929 South Vancouver became part of Vancouver itself, and has been a bustling community ever since.

The Future of South Vancouver
