Gastown in Vancouver is where old meets new. It is here that you will find large brick buildings, heritage loft conversions and some new condo buildings. There are buildings with lofts and retail stores on the street level, that fit the neighbourhood well.
I have watched from year to year as Gastown became more of a livable neighbourhood and now it is a very livable neighbourhood indeed.
Although Gastown is known as a tourist destination, and many come to see the old steam clock or walk the streets for shopping, it is a very lively neighbourhood, that many are happy to call home.
Grocery shopping is easy walking to the Woodwards building which now houses Nesters. They also took a page from the old Woodwards food floor and named and modelled a current Woodwards food floor by Nesters.
Sunrise Market is quite close for your produce needs and T&T Supermarket is also within walking distance.
There is no shortage of pubs in the area and the Sea-bus station, Sky Train and the Canada Line are close.
If you work in the downtown area, walking or biking to work, or hopping on transit is an option.
The seawall at Coal Harbour is only a short walk away.
Highlights include:
- Awesome views of the North Shore Mountains
- The Seawall at Coal Harbour nearby
- Close to downtown, walk, bike, transit
- Hook up easily to the bike route
Bike Route Map - Canada Line at the Sea-bus station offers great access
