Yaletown – Vancouver Neighbourghood Information

Yaletown is an area of Downtown Vancouver bordered by False Creek, Robson, and Homer Streets. Formerly a heavy industrial area dominated by warehouses and rail yards, since Expo ‘86, it has been transformed into one of the most densely populated and trendiest neighbourhoods in the city. The marinas, parks, high rise apartment blocks, and converted heritage buildings make Yaletown one of the most unique areas in Vancouver. With the newly constructed Canada Line station located on Davie at Pacific Street, access to most areas of Vancouver (and as far as the airport) from Yaletown has never been more convenient.

Yaletown’s historic district hosts some of the most unique dining options in the city. The Glowbal group’s flagship restaurant as well as Section(3), The Cactus Club and Rodney’s Oyster House are just a few of the gems in the area. Hip urban boutique shoppes, restaurants of every fare and an array of hair salons and wellness spas line Mainland and Hamilton Streets. The area’s flagship grocer, Save-On Food’s first Urban Fare is located on Davie Street, between Marinaside Crescent and Pacific Street.
