02 The story
Cambie Village, the Canada Line and leafy streets
South Cambie is a compact West Side neighbourhood centred on Cambie Street, south of 16th Avenue. Cambie Street itself is a grand boulevard with a planted median, and the Canada Line runs beneath it, making this one of the best-connected residential areas in the city.
Cambie Village
The stretch of Cambie Street near 16th to 20th Avenues, often called Cambie Village, has cafés, bakeries, restaurants and independent shops serving the surrounding streets. Further south, around King Edward Avenue, more shops and services cluster near the station.
Parks and gardens
Douglas Park is the neighbourhood’s community hub, with a community centre, playgrounds and sports fields. Queen Elizabeth Park and VanDusen Botanical Garden are both close by, offering some of Vancouver’s best gardens and city views.
Homes
South Cambie mixes character houses on quiet side streets with newer apartments and townhouses along Cambie Street, where density has grown around the Canada Line stations.
Getting around
King Edward Station on the Canada Line is in the heart of the neighbourhood, with fast trains to downtown, Richmond and the airport. Broadway–City Hall Station is just to the north.
