Grandview-Woodland

'The Drive' is the neighbourhood's main street, with around 21 blocks of shops, restaurants, bars, and cafés, a long Italian-Canadian heritage, and a reputation for an artistic, counter-culture community. It's one of Vancouver's most walkable streets.

Commercial–Broadway station, where the Expo and Millennium SkyTrain lines meet, is at the south end of Commercial Drive, so downtown Vancouver, Burnaby, and Surrey are all a direct SkyTrain ride. That transit access is a big part of the area's appeal for condo buyers and investors.
