Location

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.


Housing & History

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.

Oakridge Park

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.


Transportation

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.
