In the heart of Vancouver, Oakridge boasts the perfect blend of tree-lined streets, multi-use dwellings and functional shopping areas.
Oakridge is well served by educational institutions. Van Horne Elementary and Jamieson Elementary are within walking distance of most areas of Oakridge. Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School offers the facilities for the older children in the family. Private schools within the immediate area include King David High School and Vancouver College.
Langara College at 49th and Cambie brings lots of people traffic for those seeking a post-secondary education.
Oakridge is a small, square oasis in the heart of the Vancouver area. Bordered to the north by West 41st Avenue and to the south by West 49th Avenue, the east and west boundaries of Ontario and Oak Street define the uniqueness of this area.
Oakridge was one of the last areas of the city left in its natural state before being opened up for development. Except for the Langara Golf Course, built in 1926, and some hospitals and boarding schools erected before World War II, most of the structures did not exist until after WWII.
Many single-family homes were built but in 1959. Subsequently, the Oakridge Shopping Centre at the corner of 41st and Oak was constructed and nearby home construction boomed. The Oakridge Shopping Centre has become the hub for residential growth.
Because of the relative “newness” of Oakridge, it remains one of Vancouver’s least historic neighbourhoods. The area is characterized by mainly bungalow style homes built between the 1950s and 1960s. In recent years these bungalows have been torn down or renovated with new multi-story residences taking their place on the spacious city lots. There are also numerous multilevel, multifamily home choices available as well.
Within the Oakridge perimeters, there also are many assisted-living structures and facilities that cater to a growing senior population.
…complete with its perimeter walking, jogging and dog walking trails, Oakridge is not short of accessible green space
With the close proximity of the Langara Golf Course, complete with its perimeter walking, jogging and dog walking trails, Oakridge is not short of accessible green space. Complementing the Golf Course area are the other green spaces areas of Columbia Park and Tisdall Park. The nearby YMCA and Community Centre add to the myriad of recreational facilities available.
The Oakridge Park development in Vancouver is an ambitious and eagerly anticipated project that is currently under construction, poised to redefine the urban landscape of the city. Nestled in the heart of Vancouver, this transformative development promises to seamlessly blend modern architecture with lush green spaces, offering residents and visitors a harmonious balance between urban living and natural surroundings. Boasting a mix of residential, commercial, and recreational spaces, Oakridge Park aims to create a vibrant and inclusive community hub. The architectural design reflects a commitment to sustainability and innovation, incorporating eco-friendly features and cutting-edge technologies. As construction progresses, the excitement builds around the potential economic and cultural impact this development could have on the city, making it a focal point for both residents and investors eager to witness the evolution of Vancouver’s urban fabric.
Public transportation to this neighbourhood is superior and frequent. The main north/south arteries of Oak and Cambie combined with the wide, easily travelled boulevards of West 41st and West 49th make this area one of the most accessible in the city. It is a short drive (or bus) to UBC and Richmond with easy access to the downtown core.
The Canada Line has stations at 41st Avenue and Cambie, and at 49th Avenue and Cambie (Langara station). This has brought new access and vitality to Oakridge, and promises significant development in the future.

The MLS® HPI Benchmark Prices shown below represent the current expected sales price for a typical or “Benchmark” home in a given neighbourhood.
The MLS® HPI takes into consideration what averages and medians do not – items such as lot size, age, number of rooms, etc. The most commonly traded set of these attributes describes the composite of the typical or ‘benchmark’ property type in a given area. Prices paid for homes with these attributes determine benchmark home prices.
The MLS® Home Price Index is modelled on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) which measures the rate of price change for a basket of goods and services including food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. Instead of measuring goods and services, the HPI measures the change in the price of housing features. Thus, the HPI measures typical, pure price change (inflation or deflation).
The graph below charts the historical Home Price Index over a 3 year period.
