Kerrisdale

Kerrisdale developed about a hundred years ago when a streetcar line was built connecting Vancouver's downtown with Richmond. The community, between Blenheim & Granville streets and 41st Avenue down to Southwest Marine Drive still has many period homes dating back to that time, even though the street car has long since disappeared. The neighbourhood is full of quaint wooden houses on tree-lined avenues and has a vibrant shopping area with brick sidewalks centered around West 41st Avenue and West Boulevard.

Homes

This is a stable and affluent community characterized by single-family homes - some from the early 1900s with a post WWII growth spurt. Kerrisdale also has 50 named heritage structures in a variety of styles. There are a smaller number of rental units, apartments and condos in the neighbourhood.
 

Shopping

Kerrisdale has many smaller shops, boutiques, services and restaurants along West 41st Avenue and along West and East Boulevards. The nearest mall is Oakridge Centre (Cambie & West 41st Ave.)
