Kits is one of my favorite neighborhoods in Vancouver. It is located just across the Burrard Street bridge from downtown. Kits has it all – single family homes, town-homes, and some newer and heritage apartment buildings. This area features one of the nicest and best looking beaches in the city, including a public outdoor swimming pool overlooking the ocean, tennis courts, the Watermark Restaurant.
The neighborhood is very walkable – with shops on 4th Avenue only ten minutes from the beach. “North of 4th is a very desirable place to be as you are closest to the water.
If you like a nice balance between quiet, beaches, yet close proximity to local shopping and only a few minutes from all that downtown has to offer – this is a great place to consider.
I lived in this neighborhood for three years, and loved the community feel, and the natural beauty of Kits.
