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.
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. For the teenagers in the family, Kitsilano Secondary School is in the heart of the area while Prince of Wales Secondary and Lord Byng Secondary are both within an easy commute whether walking or driving. 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.
Kitsilano is a vibrant, thriving, active Vancouver Westside neighbourhood bordered by Alma Street on the west, Burrard Street on the east, 16th Avenue on the south and the ocean to the north.

There is also easy access to the University of BC and Pacific Spirit Regional Park.
The diversity of housing in Kitsilano is a major contributor to the ambiance of this Vancouver Westside neighbourhood. California bungalows, heritage homes, low-rise condo buildings, townhouses, duplexes … the housing is as diverse as the people who inhabit them.

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.
