Yaletown History

Yaletown is historic area of Vancouver, where the historic Roundhouse can be found at the foot of Davie Street at Pacific. The Roundhouse was originally contructed in 1888 and is now a community arts and recreation centre.

Yaletown is not only a vibrant area of Vancouver with retail, restaurants, and residential. Yaletown is home to several old warehouses that have been converted to residential.

With the Canada Line, "Yaletown-Roundhouse" station at Mainland and Davie, Yaletown is very accessible by public transit. The beautiful David Lam Park lies close to the False creek inlet, with a field for a good soccer game and tennis courts can be found nearby.

Yaletown is situated within the False Creek North sub area of Vancouver West. Bordered by Downtown to the West and Mount Pleasant to the East Yaletown was once nothing but warehouses and the terminus of the CPR Railroad.

 

Above is CPR Train 374 that is now on display in the Yaletown Roundhouse for all to see.

Yaletown is a terrific location to live for those that work in the downtown core as walking or public transit is quite convenient.  Unwinding after work with a walk or bike ride on the seawall is truly an added benefit of living in Yaletown.  

Highlight Include:

• The Roundhouse
• David Lam Park
• The seawall
• Great restaurants
• Good energy
• Convenient grocery stores
• Quick access to downtown.

False Creek North, on the Edge of Yaletown.

On the Edge of Yaletown, False Creek North has it's own Seawall that is a continuation of the English Bay Seawall.  A great view of the creek, boats, and the condos and green space that surround False Creek North.

During development of this area, Concord Pacific together with the City of Vancouver did a great job of planning, adding parks for green-space and continuing the Seawall walk. 

The area has an Urban Fare grocery store and plenty of restaurants and additional shopping.

Put on your roller blades, hop on your bike or take the dog for a walk. Continue along the seaswall to the Science Centre or keep going to see Oylmpic Village and further still and you will find yourself at Granville Island.

False Creek North is a sub area of Vancouver West.
