About East Vancouver
East Vancouver (known as East Van) is a diverse and spirited part of the city that encompasses several distinct areas: Chinatown, Gastown, Commercial Drive, Main Street, Fraser Street, Strathcona, and Cedar Cottage just to name a few. The on-going development continues to make this part of the city a viable option for an incredibly broad range of home buyers.
If you're looking for a new construction home or condo during your home search, you'll likely find much better pricing here on new and recent development than in other parts of the city, which of course has its upside. Furthermore, the variety of housing options on Vancouver's Eastside is also an attractive quality about the neighborhood, allowing for real estate here to appeal to anyone from first-time homebuyers to savvy investors looking for a great long-term value.

East Vancouver Lifestyle
Aside from the eclectic mix of housing, East Vancouver also has all kinds of park spaces available for residents to enjoy, which include Queen Elizabeth Park, John Hendry Park, Hastings Park, New Brighton Park, and quite a few others that line both the Vancouver Harbour to the north and the Fraser River to the south.
Tourist activity is also on the rise in East Vancouver, as Gastown and Chinatown are both historic districts that feature lots of unique and authentic cultural destinations. Additionally, a number of art galleries and studios have also found their way to the eastside, making it also one of the most popular locations in all of Vancouver for work-live opportunities.
When it comes to real estate... East Vancouver condos and townhomes have become increasingly popular, with new developments seemingly popping up every other month. If you're seeking a condominium residence in the city, East Vancouver actually has one of the highest concentrations of condos and townhomes. Single-family homes are also part of the Vancouver Eastside landscape, as well as 1/2 Duplexes.
