Housing
Dunbar prides itself on many of its original homes and beautiful treed streets. Basement suites for university students are extensive.
The flats bordering the Fraser River are home to the 'horse' set, with a proliferation of riding stables, clubs and trails. There are many well-kept older homes, some of luxury and mansion distinction and several sprawling ranch-style estates. At the south end, adjacent to the Fraser River, the Musqueam Indian Reserve offers executive-class housing.
