Shaughnessy Houses for Sale

Shaughnessy Houses for Sale on Vancouver's Westside.

Ask any native of the city where to find the most beautifully landscaped, majestically statuesque mansions and you’ll undoubtedly be given one answer: Shaughnessy, the old school heart of Vancouver. Originally created as simply an alternative to the West End, this stately and distinguished neighborhood has become the most exclusive and elite area code in Vancouver.

Primarily a residential community, Shaughnessy houses multimillion dollar homes – complete with never ending driveways – and extensive parcels of land; yet in true Vancouver fashion, it never allows its lavishness to overpower its charm.

Residents often frequent the world famous VanDusen Gardens or the renowned Shaughnessy Golf and County Club while still having direct access to South Granville shopping, the Vancouver International Airport and each and every amenity of the downtown core.
