| Kerrisdale is a mixed neighbourhood featuring old bungalows, newer
'Vancouver Specials', and various low and mid-rise rental and condo
apartment buildings. The neighbourhood is ethnically diverse. It features a small shopping district running generally along West 41st Avenue between Larch and Maple Streets and West Boulevard between 37th and 47th Avenues. Although the City officially defines Kerrisdale as being south of 41st Ave (north of 41st is called Arbutus Ridge), most people consider the area's boundaries to be West 33rd Ave to the north, Granville Street to the east, West 57th Street to the south, and Blenheim Street to the west. The northern part of Marpole is also generally thought of as part of Kerrisdale, thus many refer to the area as also Kerrisdale-Marpole. The southwestern part of Kerrisdale is known as Southlands, due to its location in relation to the city. Southlands is known for its horse stables and rural feel and is located on the floodplain of the North Arm of the Fraser River. |
