About False Creek Houses

With Granville Street, Cambie Street and Burrard Street in close proximity, as well as the Canada Line tunnel literally running beneath this neighbourhood.

The History of False Creek

False Creek dates back to 1913, when part of the Kitsilano Reserve peoples were forced to move there after their settlement was burned down. A few short years later, Granville Island was created in 1916 for industrial purposes, and False Creek started taking further shape in 1916 with the Canadian Northern Railway.

This area remained industrial through the 50’s with sawmills and ports, but once the BC Forest Productions plant burned down in the 60’s the area was fairly underutilized – until recent years.

False Creek is now ablaze in a positive manner, with thriving businesses, beautiful condos and conveniences in all directions. And with acreage still in development, and continual residential and commercial developments and improvements being made in the area, this edge-of-Vancouver downtown neighbourhood is one I’m positive you would love to see …and one I would be thrilled to show you!
