General Overview

  • Population of approximately 27,460
  • Map of East/West Vancouver

    BC, Lower MainlandVancouver's first suburb, Grandview-Woodland is one of 23 communities. It stretches from Broadway to the Burrard Inlet waterfront, and from Clark Drive to Nanaimo Street. These boundaries are defined by the city for planning and administrative purposes and may not accurately reflect smaller historical neighbourhoods.

    One of Grandview Woodland's most distinctive characteristics is its diversity. Commercial Drive includes some of the best ethnic restaurants in town and a collection of cafes and coffee houses that draw customers from all over the City.

    While Grandview-Woodland's total population has remained relatively constant since the 1970s, the community's mix has changed. Three significant trends emerged in the 1980s in this community which, historically, has attracted a large number of families.

    Such changes in the age composition of the community affect the demand for housing, health care and community facilities such as schools, recreation centres and parks.

    The Grandview-Woodland community offers a wide variety of housing types, from single-detached homes to duplexes, to low- and high-rise apartments suitable for a range of incomes and household types. The area east of Commercial is zoned for apartments while duplexes and single-family homes with additional suites are found in the area to the west of the Drive. to 9,185.

    Parks
    There are 10.35 hectares of park land distributed throughout Grandview-Woodland, with all residents within a comfortable walking distance (800 metres) from one of the area's twelve parks. Grandview-Woodland has 0.4 hectares of park land per 1,000 persons as compared to the city average of 1.12. The Park Board is aware of the shortage and has identified the area for future land acquisition. In 1994, a park site was purchased at William St. and McLean Dr. to help address the problem.
