WELCOME TO KITSILANO
Close to downtown, close to the beach, close to restaurants and great shopping, there’s not a lot this neighbourhood lacks. Kitsilano is full of healthy places with beautiful people who love yoga—it is where lululemon started after all. In the summer, it's the place to relax in the sun or go for a swim in the public pool. The waterfront is taken over by sun tanners, bicyclists, roller bladers, and dog walkers. On a clear evening, Kits provides a great view of the sunset over the ocean.
