Chinatown Realtor Services, Vancouver BC

Are you considering selling or acquiring real estate in Chinatown Vancouver in British Columbia? If so, then no doubt, you have come to the right place. Chinatown in Vancouver, BC, is Canada's largest Chinatown. It is centred on Pender Street, neighbouring Gastown and the Downtown financial and central business districts to the western side, the Downtown Eastside to the northern side, what remains of old Japantown to the northeastern side, and the residential area of Strathcona to the eastern side. The town is known for being a prominent tourist spot and secures its position as one of the biggest historic Chinatowns in North America. Nonetheless, it has experienced a downswing as more recent members of Vancouver's Cantonese Chinese community shifted to other segments of the metropolis. The city has been commonly referred to as "Hongcouver".It is because of the huge ethnic Chinese population in Vancouver, principally represented by multi-generation Chinese Canadians and the pioneering immigrants from Hong Kong. Roughly speaking, the bounds of Chinatown recognized by the Vancouver City authorities, are the alley valley between Pender and Hastings Streets, Georgia Street, Gore Avenue, and Taylor Street, although unofficially, the area includes what remains of the Downtown Eastside. Pender, Keefer, and Main Streets form the predominant parts of commercial activity.

CANADA’S LARGEST CHINATOWN

Vancouver’s Chinatown is the largest Chinatown in all of Canada and a designated National Historic Site of Canada at the same time. Surrounded by Gastown, the Financial District, Downtown Eastside, Japantown, and Strathcona, its positioning allows it to reap the best of two worlds - the traditional Chinese architecture and modern facilities at a walking distance.

Bustling with traditional businesses, exotic restaurants, and vibrant culture, Chinatown has always been a symbol of Canadian diversity through the inclusion of all cultures, races, and nationalities.

Although it was known as a somewhat underdeveloped area, the city of Vancouver has recently put in significant efforts towards developing Chinatown while preserving its traditional shine. In 2017, a group of community representatives and stakeholders formed a Chinatown Legacy Stewardship Group (LSG) under the City Council’s directions. This group’s responsibility is to oversee Chinatown’s development and revitalization process and report back their views of it to the Council.

The direct participation of locals and interested parties will not only improve the work done but will also add the personal touch and preserve that local, traditional feel of Chinatown, so we can expect some great things happening in Chinatown in the near future.

Social Amenities in Chinatown

In Chinatown, visitors will certainly be able to experience a genuine Chinese cultural feel. They will be able to get an opportunity to taste traditional food, take part in typical customs, and immerse themselves in the engrossing Asian ways of life. One establishment which is guaranteed to give such a priceless experience is the Bao Bei Chinese Brasserie. It is a first-class Chinese restaurant that serves genuine Asian meals with a creative twist.

Nature lovers will definitely find the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden a must-go-to place. The site was established to build, maintain, and enhance cordial relations between Western and Chinese cultures. It provides a quintessentially peaceful and tranquil environment as there are benches to sit back and relax on, and the juxtaposition of the classical Chinese natural space with the modern city towers in the background makes it a magnificent location for photography. It is a pleasant garden in the middle of Vancouver which is characterized by colourful flowers dotted around the establishment, dense grassy areas as well as a plethora of historical artifacts on display in the onsite Ming Dynasty scholar's room.

There is also the Jimi Hendrix Shrine, which was constructed in honour of the internationally acclaimed musician and guitarist. It is situated on the site where Jimi's grandmother used to work, a place in which the renowned musician came to numerous times when he visited Vancouver.

Mystery and police investigation program lovers are not neglected in Chinatown as there is the Vancouver Police Museum to cater to them. In it are interesting displays of confiscated weaponry and police gadgets.

MLS IN CHINATOWN

Listing a property in Chinatown, Vancouver is the same as listing a property anywhere else in Vancouver. However, the strategy used to advertise the property and how you present the property to the market should never be the same. As no buyer is alike, no property is alike as well, so every MLS should be tailored to the specific selling strategy we settle for.

To achieve the best results, I will use all tools available to market your property - from traditional media to the popular social platforms and more. My selling services also include staging, negotiating, and photography, but don’t stop there. Any service I don’t offer, I find for you, so if you need an agent who speaks Mandarin, Cantonese, French, or any other language, don’t hesitate to ask for one. I will find it for you so you can get recognition in the international marketplace.
