Location & History

With sweeping grand old trees and nicely located in Vancouver’s sought after south-west side, the Kerrisdale neighbourhood is convenient to Vancouver International Airport, the City of Richmond and just a short drive along scenic 41st Avenue to the University of British Columbia – named a top 50 institution by the QS World University Rankings for 2023. Kerrisdale is located with 37th Avenue to the north, Cypress Street to the east, East Boulevard & 49th Avenue to the south and Bleinheim Street is situated as the neighbourhood’s border to the west. Originally part of Point Grey prior to 1929,

Kerrisdale gained its name in 1905 when BC Electric Railway manager R.H. Sterling asked Mrs. William McKinnon to name the interurban stop on West 41st. She chose to call it “Kerry’s Dale”, after the name of her family home, Kerrydale in Gairloch, Scotland.
