Named after Lord Strathcona and originally called ‘Kumkumalay’ by the Coast Salish First Nation, Strathcona next to Chinatown, is an eclectic neighbourhood of heritage homes, apartments, unique shops & restaurants.
There are two elementary schools located in Strathcona as part of the Vancouver School Board. Admiral Seymour Elementary with classes from kindergarten to grade 7. And Lord Strathcona Elementary officially the oldest school in Vancouver with grades K to 7 was founded in 1891. With an eight year $30-million seismic upgrade just completed, it is attached to the local community centre and hosts a library open to the community. For high school students, they’re in the catchment area for Britannia Secondary School a short distance away on Cotton Drive. Another school of note in Strathcona is the Vancouver Japanese Language School established in 1906 – the oldest Japanese language school in Canada.
Vancouver’s historic Strathcona neighbourhood adjacent to downtown is located with the waterfront and Burrard Inlet to the north. This northern boundary includes the dynamic Port Metro Vancouver, where in 2018, 147 million tonnes of cargo moved through the port, valued at $200 billion. To the east is Clark Drive, to the south the transitional East 2nd Avenue/Great Northern Way/East 6th Avenue arterial and then Main Street the western border for the newly redefined Strathcona neighbourhood.
The long rich history of the Strathcona neighbourhood begins in 1886, where a community emerged around Stamp’s Mill changing its name to Hastings Mill. Back in the day, Strathcona was referred to as the East End, and proudly wore its working class roots. Its citizens have always been from numerous ethnic backgrounds. Today over 60 percent of residents report Chinese as their mother tongue, with English at 24 percent. Prior to European settlement, Strathcona was home to the Squamish, Musqueam and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations people. This century Strathcona has seen major gentrification and investment. With plenty of older single family homes, many have been lovingly restored and hold heritage house status. This is part of Vancouver where you can see original Victorian or Edwardian architectural styles on full display in ‘true colour’ form. Families, small business entrepreneurs and new Canadians are all drawn to the new contemporary Strathcona.

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).
