Kitsilano District - Clearly one of the most desirable urban residential neighbourhoods in the world. It is cosmopolitan and near the warming influence of the waterfront, keeping the weather in a moderate range year around. It is located in the heart of Vancouver and Greater Vancouver, close to downtown and the University of British Columbia. It is typified by its myriad Arts & Crafts design homes on shade tree lined, quiet residential streets, lush gardens, green spaces and its chic business areas. Most of the very finest restaurants and nightlife venues, in all of Greater Vancouver, a city renowned for its great food, are within walking distance. Both wonderful boutique shopping and several beaches, again all within easy, safe walking distance, supplement this.
