Although having rapidly grown in popularity and development in recent years, East Van has managed to retain much of its endearing neighbourly charm. Often viewed as the epicentre of the local "hipster" subculture, you absolutely don't have to be one (a hipster that is) to live here. This community is oozing with understated style and refreshing authenticity. It's a fantastically diverse community where you are celebrated for being just who you are. It's a place for families, where you get to know your neighbours, and where people help one another...it's an almost palpable sense of community pride and togetherness. And with a teeming food, drink, art and music scene, East Van has a personality all to itself and the vibe will make you want to gather, socialize, and unleash your creative side, even if you didn't think you had one. Whether you're a stylish hipster, a vegan artist, an over-the-hill musician, or an urban professional with a young family (or anywhere in between or beyond), you are sure to find a nook in this community that you will fall in love with.
