Vibrant, dynamic, and ethnically rich … Fraser is an Eastside neighbourhood that welcomes, celebrates and embraces ethnic diversity within its community.
As one of the densest single-family neighbourhoods on the Eastside, Fraser offers plentiful and easily–accessible education to its residents.
The Elementary schools include Sir Alexander Elementary, McBride Annex (Elementary), Livingstone Elementary and, just outside the southern border, Henderson Elementary. The young adults of the family are also well served by the established John Oliver Secondary School and Sir Charles Tupper Secondary, located in the northwest corner of the neighbourhood. The private school opportunities of St. Andrews School and Vancouver College further allow Fraser residents the knowledge that all of their educational needs can be met within close proximity.
Fraser is defined by its main access artery of Fraser Street that bisects the neighbourhood. The north to south length of the neighbourhood runs from East 16th Avenue to East 49th Avenue, with a western border of Prince Edward Street and an eastern edge of Elgin Street with several short dips onto Glen Drive and Ross Street.
…generous lots that appeal to young families and retirees alike
Fraser is mainly made up of single-family dwellings, most of which were built prior to 1946. Many of these single-family homes are situated on generous lots that appeal to young families and retirees alike. There is also a large number of “Vancouver Specials” and bungalows that are examples of the residential development that occurred in the 80s. In more recent years, there has been a resurgence of the need for low-rise, multi-family strata units, and townhouse complexes.
Fraser is well served by green space and recreational facilities. Grays Park at East 33rd Avenue is a1.61 hectare site featuring two tennis courts, a wading pool, lawn bowling greens, a basketball court and even a ball hockey area. Further to the south lies Memorial South Park, with its majestic War Memorial standing elegantly at the end of the long entryway to the park. This large park has been designed with both sport teams and residents in mind. Sports fields, a pond, and a state of the art running track are just a few of the highlights of this delightful community-minded park. It features a well-lit synthetic turf that can handle the likes of soccer, field hockey, lacrosse and ultimate Frisbee. The running track features a six-lane, rubberized surface that opened to the public in 2011. This park has continually evolved over time, since it first opened in 1926 – its major attraction at that time was whippet racing.
Fraser offers a myriad of small neighbourhood shops interspersed with grocery chains and national drug stores. The South Hill Business Improvement Association aims to better promote the vibrant community shopping area located on Fraser Street between 41st and 50th Avenues. Picture 9 blocks of convenient and friendly convenience stores, a variety of helpful services and a lovely assortment of ethnic food stores and restaurants. You can find a complete directory of the business by visiting the South Hill BIA’s

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.
Quick Tip: Click on a property type in the chart’s legend to dynamically remove or add that line to the chart.
