Arbutus Real Estate – Homes and Condos For Sale

Located on Vancouver’s trendy West Side, Arbutus Ridge is one of the most affluent neighborhoods in the city. On the western end are the grounds of the University of British Columbia along with the expansive UBC Endowment Lands Ecological Reserve and Pacific Spirit Regional Park.

South of the campus are three waterfront golf courses, the Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club, the Point Grey Golf & Country Club and the McCleery Golf Course. All offer the opportunity to tee off within sight of the Strait of Georgia and any passing orcas.

To the north is 16th Avenue and a few blocks beyond that the Kitsilano Beach area. Mackenzie Street is the western border, 41st Avenue the south and East Boulevard brings up the eastern edge. Residents have easy access not only to several parks and beaches, but the shops, restaurants and businesses of downtown Vancouver and the city’s West Side.

Streets are wide; tree lined and offer large homes on even larger lots. Two iconic theatres, the Ridge and the Hollywood specialize in art-house films and are within blocks of Arbutus Ridge. St. Mary’s Kerrisdale, an Anglican house of worship circa 1913, is one of the iconic symbols of the area.
