- The PROS AND CONS of living in Kitsilano - If you are considering moving to or living in Vancouver, then you’ve likely already heard of Kitsilano. Kits is one of Vancouver’s most iconic (and popular) neighbourhoods.
It’s tucked along the south shore of English Bay bordering the edge of the Downtown core, Kitsilano truly is the ULTIMATE Vancouver setting.
While it has so much going for it, Kitsilano isn’t perfect. And that’s what I dive deep into in this video. I’ll explore both the good and the BAD of living in Kitsilano.
Plus, I’m not just going to talk AT you from my home studio….I’m taking you out into the wild with me to show you exactly what I’m talking about!
If you are thinking of moving to Kitsilano this is a video that you won’t want to miss. Let’s get into the Pros and Cons of Living in Kitsilano!

Lived there and have enjoyed every minute of it. Kits is my favourite neighborhood in Vancouver. Life is colourful in Kits
100% @maryamyas100!
Great video-detailed and comprehensive. As a long-time Kitsilano resident, I found it very accurate in describing the pros and cons. Great job!
Thanks so much @franckauer2363! Glad you feel that I was on point. :)
I love Kits, especially the beautiful and quiet Arbutus Walk section...up a bit and there is Shaughnessy and lots of greenways to stroll through up to Kerrisdale. One can walk to the beach in 10 minutes.
@johnnyboyvan 100%! Great tips! :)
Thank you for showing Kitsilano
@thewildmustangisfast My pleasure! :)
I love the idea of Kits but it’s so expensive and every condo I look at needs to be renovated. I also noticed that Vancouver in general feels so corporate. It’s a weird vibe. Thanks for also showing each neighbourhood, so helpful.
Having lived in the GTA for 30 years, I feel Toronto is far more corporate. Vancouver has an air of being laid back, not in a rush with the hours of a teenager. Montreal appears to be the most vibrant city in the country, but it's that ocean air and mountain view that gets me, even if I have to walk 10 minute to get tot he ocean. ;)
I should have mentioned I live in Montreal so I think everything seems corporate in comparison
@wenkoffs @OrdinaryFilmmaker This does remind me that your experience of a place really does depend on where you come from. In the end, it's all relative. But yeah, I can imagine that a lot of Vancouver could feel pretty corporate in comparison to Montreal (and not in comparison to Toronto). If you are looking for a less corporate vibe than I'd look closely at Commercial Drive and the West End.
I love these outdoor videos 🎉
Thanks @afraaamin6290! Glad that you are enjoying them!
Owning a house in Kitsilano is an immense privilege.
@xXxFaustoMoraesxXx Owning a house in Kitsilano would definitely be a privilege!
I would like you talking more about jobs in vancouver sir 🙏🏻
Did you watch this video I did a few weeks ago all about jobs in Vancouver ruclips.net/video/IIH6O_hTR-k/видео.html @kimhyesandrama?
Thanks for another peak at this community. Love all the B roll of English Bay. West Point Grey and Kits are my two favour items areas. Even on a rainy day, walking by the ocean picks me up. If I end up buying a location before I am ready to move out there. If I find a renter, and stay in Ontario for a few years, do I pay any extra taxes? I understand if the place stays vacant for 6 months or more, there are taxes. Thanks for this video!
@OrdinaryFilmmaker I agree. Having that access to the ocean all year round is a real game changer.
You do have to consider the tax implications if you become a landlord here in Vancouver. You would avoid paying the Speculation Tax and the Empty Homes Tax...but you'd be paying income tax on the rental income and capital gains tax on any price appreciation between the time you purchase the property and the time you either sell, or move into it as your primary residence.
@@LivingInVancouver-BC Hmmm... capital gains tax should not be too much if we just rent it out for two years. When the condo becomes available to us, we'll either move there or sell it. If we sell, we'll likely trade up. Keep up the great work with these videos. I spend my Saturday morning looking at properties and watching your videos.
For sure. Just want to make sure you are considering all the implications. :) And thank you for continuing to watch and support the channel!
I lived north of West 4 th. Loved living there. Too expensive though.
It worries me how the entire country has become unaffordable. If I wasn't in the market, I'd feel forced to leave the country.
@epermute It's a lovely pocket...especially in the summer months!
@@OrdinaryFilmmaker I hear you. I’ve been in the Vancouver market since 1992. I doubt I’d be able to stay either if I had nt already bought in.
Problem with buying or renting in Kits is Mayor Sims may rezone your property and force a sale or evictions so he can turn everything near the Broadway corridor project into skyscraper condo towers
@leibmoshe That's true...and I should have mentioned the massive redevelopment coming a little more...but wherever the skytrain goes, this is what's going to happen (something that all levels of government are pushing for).
It still blows my mind that my Grandfather bought his home in Kits for $8,000
Of course how many years ago?
@@FamilyCheung-kc1pwI think 1964 if I remember correctly
@ivorytelecaster Yeah. Pretty crazy!
Kitsilano ?? Sounds like a MOB family
I'll never see the name the same again... Keep thinking of Tony S.
Maybe they'll make me an offer I can't refuse 😂😂👍
@@philleast3006 I just came back from there. Before my trip, all of Vancouver was under consideration. I can now say that West Point grey and Kits are the two burbs that interest me.
@philleast3006 Haha...it does have a mafia ring to it, but it's actually named after Chief August Jack Khatsahlano, a Squamish Chief.
