CAPTIVATION APLENTY IN EAST VAN

A CURIOUS NOTE Commercial Drive placed #5 on Time Out’s 2024 list of Coolest Streets in the World.

The energy in East Van’s Commercial Drive community is electric. Businesses buzz with people, creativity, and soul. Character and colours are all around. Flavourful aromas and musical sounds fill the air. The vibrancy is never too much or too little. The one-of-a-kind details — layers of them — tell a captivating story of the neighbourhood, past and present. The Italian cafes and grocers, eclectic eateries and watering holes, and weekend farmers’ markets nourish appetites. The Rio Theatre and other artistic spots feed you culture by the spoonful. Vintage boutiques and local designers dress you in unique, ethical fashions. And the greenery in Trout Lake will even out any kinks in your mood as you walk your dog along the paths or picnic on the grass. These places, their people, and their stories add bottomless depth to life. Homes at Eastward may be set aside from the busy streets, but you still feel their magnetism — and only a short stroll will connect you to transit, shopping, nature, entertainment, and eats. The neighbourhood’s warm, creative spirit echoes east, west, north, and south.
