This neighbourhood boasts a mix of both houses and apartment blocks, making it home to a range of people from young new comers, many families have also settled here and also an older generation who have seen the changes in this neighbourhood over the years.
The community here is tight-knit, and it's not uncommon to see neighbours chatting on their porches or enjoying a cup of coffee at one of the local cafes. Kitsilano exudes a sense of community that is hard to find in other parts of the city.
Kits Beach
Kitsilano Beach, undoubtedly the crown jewel of the neighbourhood, is a major draw for residents and tourists alike. With its stunning views of English Bay and the North Shore Mountains, it's no wonder why Kitsilano Beach is often referred to as one of the most beautiful urban beaches in the world. From families building sandcastles to those enjoying a cold dip all year round. Many come here to sunbath and swim, whilst enjoying watching those playing beach volleyball and paddleboarding, there are endless activities to enjoy on Kits beach.
The beach is also home to the Kitsilano Showboat, an open-air amphitheater that hosts free performances throughout the summer, showcasing local talent in music, dance, and theater.

This saltwater pool, located right next to Kitsilano Beach, offers stunning views of the ocean while providing a refreshing and invigorating swimming experience. One of the largest salt water pools in North Amercia, this place is a draw for families, with its shallow paddling waters. Whether you're doing laps or simply lounging by the poolside, the Kitsilano Pool offers a unique oasis in the heart of the neighbourhood.
Kitsilano Beach Park is a true haven for outdoor enthusiasts and families alike. This expansive park offers a plethora of recreational activities, including tennis courts, basketball courts, and a playground for children. Take a leisurely stroll along the Seawall with your dog, a scenic pathway that stretches along the waterfront, offering breathtaking views of the city skyline and the mountains. Whether you're looking to have a picnic with friends, go for a jog, or simply enjoy the beauty of nature, Kitsilano Beach Park has it all.
