To the west of Kitsilano, the exclusive West Point Grey neighborhood abuts the wooded University of British Columbia campus, which holds the Museum of Anthropology and several gardens. Jags are parked on the winding streets. New money is over in West Vancouver, across Burrard Inlet. Kerrisdale, southwest of Shaughnessy Heights, also abuts the UBC campus. This is another high-income neighborhood, its urbane shopping district around 41st and Arbutus a favorite with the elderly set.
Lush gardens accentuate the English cottage look.
Yaletown False Creek forms downtown's southern boundary. Until very recently, a tangle of warehouses, factories, scrap yards, and heavy industry covered the land surrounding False Creek. The subsequent development of office complexes, followed by new sports and entertainment buildings nearby, has caused Vancouver's pulse to shift away from the center of the peninsula south to Yaletown . Thankfully, Yaletown's remaining warehouses around the old Expo86 site have been saved. Inc. All rights reserved.
