Take a stroll through Kerrisdale Village and you may feel like you have stepped back to a place where time has stood still. I'm a frequent visitor to Kerrisdale and I love the village for it's wonderful combination of vintage charm mixed with modern retail boutiques. Some of my favorites are the 'Hill of Kerrisdale' which has been around since the 1920's as a third generation family business. Christmas time is especially charming in Kerrisdale with free horse carriage rides and roving quartets all set in the beautifully decorated village. Kerrisdale is still a place where you can order 'High Tea' at establishments like the Secret Garden Tea Company. No wonder Kerrisdale was originally called Kerrydale meaning 'Little seat of the fairies'.its quite simply the stuff that dreams are made of and truly a place where you would want to raise a family in an idyllic setting that is not far from the city core.

Kerrisdale is a great example of mixed architecture with newer houses and older bungalows, as well as various low and mid-rise rental and condo apartment buildings in its northern section. The southwestern part of Kerrisdale is known as Southlands and derived its name due to its location in relation to the city although not always well known by even Vancouverites as a horse meca.

There are a number of private and public schools in the Kerrisdale area, all with superb Fraser Institute ratings. Bus transit is frequent to UBC which is right beside Kerrisdale, however you will find that many students will simply bike to UBC. The close proximity of Kerrisdale to UBC offers unique opportunities for secondary suits and laneway houses for extended families and rental income investors.

You won't soon forget Kerrisdale, if anything for its beautiful cherry blossom lined streets, manicured lawns and well maintained gardens which I have no doubt was inspired by world renowned florist Thomas Hobbs, who owns and operates Southlands Nursery.
