Vancouver Luxury Real Estate

From the music industry to film and other visual arts, this "Hollywood North" has drawn upon the varied talents and energies of its multi-ethnic and well-traveled residents to create an environment that is known for leading the way not only in media and entertainment ventures, but also in software and computer development. The dynamism of it culture, which reflects a mixture of mostly British, western European and Asian influences, is also reflected in the sights found within Vancouver's bustling streets: With architecture that samples from the Victorian, Edwardian, and Modern periods, as well as specific styles like Art Deco, its selection of single family and high rise residential units is sure to offer an appropriate, and beautiful, home for individuals who have any tastes. The city and its vibrant street life, which left a deep impression on all attendees of the 2010 Winter Olympics, is only part of its appeal, however, as the greater star of this urban environment might be the moving natural beauty that envelops it. From snow-capped Mount Baker to the majestic North Shore Mountains that serve as the city's primary backdrop, Vancouver's entire landscape is dominated by promontories that seem to change color as the weather and position of the sun shift throughout the day. Hiking, cycling, or driving into these highlands only accounts for some of the adventures that Vancouver has in store for its residents, though, as the Strait of Georgia, Burrard's Inlet and the Fraser River also offer a variety of navigable, and breathtaking, channels for canoeists, kayakers, and other boaters. Given the close proximity of Vancouver Island, which is visible from the city's famed Pacific Spirit Regional Park, it's also common for people to take daytime ferry trips that often feature impromptu shows that, due to their good nature, come as compliments of the many whale species, including Orcas, that live in the inlet.
