Known for its spectacular scenery and endless stretches of beaches.

Kitsilano (“Kits” as it is affectionately called by residents) is ranked as the second most recognizable community in Canada (after Toronto’s Rosedale area). Known for its spectacular scenery and endless stretches of beaches, Kitsilano blends the best of both worlds: Urban, with its proximity to the downtown core and myriad clubs, restaurants, shopping and office buildings that make up the downtown experience; and Hip Suburban, with its eclectic mix of coffee joints, neighbourhood pubs, and local hangouts for good eating and excellent people watching.

With neighbourhood eateries, excellent shopping, and a panoramic mountain/beach setting right on your doorstep, is it any wonder that Kitsilano is the place – secretly anyway – everyone wants to live?

Kitsilano is also where faithwilson Christie’s International Real Estate has been headquartered for more than 13 years.


Schools

As one would expect from one of the older neighbourhoods in Vancouver, the school possibilities for all ages is plentiful. For the little ones in the family, there are the following easily accessible elementary school offerings: Gordon Elementary, Bayview Elementary, Tennyson Elementary and the iconic heritage Henry Hudson Elementary.

If your tendency is towards a private or independent institution, there are several strong considerations including, St. John’s School, St. Augustine School and St. John’s International School.
