Neighbourhood Guide
Killarney
East Side, Vancouver
Killarney is a quiet neighbourhood lined with small shopping plazas and residential cul-de-sacs. It also boasts some of the largest green space in Vancouver.
Diversity runs strong and true in Killarney.
One of the latest community to be developed in East Vancouver, Killarney is about as close to an ethnic melting pot as you can get.
Killarney sits on the south-facing slope overlooking the Fraser River. Out here in East Vancouver, the cost of housing tends to be more reasonable, but without being too far from downtown and the city centre. And as one of Vancouver’s newer neighborhoods, it feels a bit closer to nature and a little less congested.
