Renfrew

Renfrew is a large, middle-class and multicultural community that En Route magazine flagged as one of Canada's next great neighbourhoods. Revitalized shops and a growing sense of momentum have made this a rewarding part of East Van to call home. Its housing offers solid value in a well-connected, family-friendly setting.

Getting around

The area is generously served by transit, with the Rupert and Renfrew stations on the Millennium SkyTrain line and major bus routes along Hastings and other arterials. Downtown, Burnaby and the wider region are all a quick ride away.

Schools & family

Good public schools support the neighbourhood's many families, and parks and community centres are close at hand. The mix of amenities makes daily life straightforward.

Shopping & lifestyle

Retail has been reinvigorated across the area, especially along the Hastings Street East Village, where cafes, bakeries and restaurants sit beside longtime local businesses. Everyday shopping needs are easily met nearby.
