University

Wrapping around UBC and Pacific Spirit Park, the University area is celebrated for protecting nature and green space. Old logging routes have become hiking trails threading through a vast urban forest. Residents are only a short walk from woodland, beaches or striking ocean and mountain views, with the university's cultural life close at hand.

Getting around

Frequent express buses connect the campus to downtown and the rest of the city, and the wooded trails make it easy to get around on foot or by bike.

Schools & family

Beyond UBC itself, the area is served by strong public and independent schools suited to academic families.

Shopping & lifestyle

University Village and the campus core provide shops, groceries, restaurants and services along with galleries and performance venues.
