Kerrisdale,
one of the original
towns that surrounded Vancouver, and once separated from the city by dense
forest, has succeeded in maintaining its village character, with a
distinct shopping district. The area has changed considerably in recent
years; property values have risen. Several high-rise condominiums have
replaced many of the older, classic apartments in the area. Citizens'
concerns resulted in rezoning in an effort to preserve the character
rental apartments and homes that remain.
Kerrisdale is a mixture of neighborhoods of varying ages, some with attractively uniform setbacks and planted boulevard strips. The "Arbutus Line" right-of-way once carried rail commuters from Richmond to downtown Vancouver.
