Gastown Detached Single Family Homes For Sale

Gastown is referred to as “the birthplace of Vancouver”. It’s the place where Jack (Gassy) Deighton opened his saloon, the first business in Vancouver located at the zero hundred block of Water Street where it intersects with Carrall Street. As time passed, Gastown slowly started growing and developing into a commercial and shipping hub with brick houses and stone structures that are still existing today. The urban development threatened the heritage buildings in Gastown, so in the 1970s, the city designated it as a heritage district. 

Over time, Gastown grew and developed into a thriving and diverse urban community that perfectly blends history and urban living. On one side, you have the remainings of the beginnings of Vancouver, while on the other side, you see some of the most creative companies in Canada. The neighbourhood is also home to several award-winning restaurants, clubs, art galleries, and boutique hotels. 

Unlike other neighbourhoods in Vancouver that suffered after the urbanization, Gastown has preserved its residential profile. The brick warehouses have been turned into lofts and live/work studios where residents can live and enjoy the Gastown lifestyle 24/7. Most single-family homes in Gastown are 3+ bedroom homes. The prices can drastically vary depending on the exact location of the property. You can pay anywhere between $1.5 million for a 3-bedroom home up to $35 million for a 7-bedroom home.
