Downtown Core Houses for Sale on Vancouver's Westside.

Like many cities, the core of downtown Vancouver is a growing mecca for business, nightlife and sky-high buildings – note the Trump Tower aiming for completion by 2016 – yet, unlike most, Vancouver’s downtown offers far more than the usual.

 

Comprised of the West End, Yaletown, Coal Harbour and the downtown core itself, this part of the city offers a vast range of affordable entry level homes for first-time buyers as well as pied a terres and large penthouse homes for downsizers.

 

Residents have the luxury to choose from a myriad of restaurants – overlooking lavish mountains, seawalls and marinas – screen and stage theatres, designer boutiques, and our very own city treasure, the grandeur Stanley Park.

 

Dine with colleagues in Yaletown, bike ride to and through the West End, splurge on ice cream from the seawall in Coal Harbour and shop along a twinkle lit Robson Street. Buy now – Downtown Vancouver awaits you!
