The affluent neighbourhood of Arbutus, is a highly sought-after real estate investment opportunity within Vancouver. Sitting just West of Downtown Vancouver, Arbutus borders along the north side of 16th Avenue, with Quesnel Drive running to its west, West King Edward Avenue to the south and East Boulevard to the east. The spacious nature of the land also lends itself to tree-lined streets, and is in close proximity to amenities such as dining, shopping, schools and entertainment.

The community of Quilchena, Vancouver, is known as the second-wealthiest neighbourhood in British Columbia next to West Vancouver. And with both single and multi-family homes nestled within West King Edward Avenue to north, 37th Avenue to the south, with Puget Drive running west and Maple Crescent to the east, this affluent neighbourhood appeals to a broad range of buyers.

In addition, it is in close proximity to recreational activities, eateries, and entertainment in neighbouring locations such as UBC and Downtown Vancouver.

Although such conveniences are not far away, Quilchena is a quiet neighbourhood nestled just far enough off the beaten path and away from the hustle and bustle of city life, while delivering quality homes, gorgeous landscapes and top-notch real estate investment opportunities.

The Livability of Quilchena

Quilchena is a great community for families as it offers Quilchena Elementary school to the south of the region, with the Prince of Wales Secondary to the north, as well as Point Grey Secondary and York House just around the corner in the neighbouring Point Grey community.

Quaint in nature, Quilchena is a delightfully posh neighbourhood to call home within Metro Vancouver, with easy access to any amenity imaginable.

The History of Quilchena

Quilchena was once low-lying marshland, but in the 40s and 50s sand was brought into the region from False Creek in order to begin developing the area. Development over the years has added to the beauty of the neighbourhood, while keeping a large parkland portion of Quilchena intact, adding further appeal to this Vancouver real estate investment opportunity.

The Future of Quilchena

Quilchena offers a variety of real estate opportunities – from older single-family homes to low-rise condos, as well as townhouses. Plus, because it borders along the Shaughnessy community, the affluent appeal by association definitely adds to the elegance of the area, with large homes from yesteryear and modern spacious dwellings intermingling along its streets.

As with any community in Vancouver, Quilchena has endless potential, offering an already-inviting environment for anyone looking to call this neighbourhood home. A place I would love to introduce you to, and help you uncover if this is the right community for your real estate buying needs!
