The Central Vancouver neighbourhood of Shaughnessy was a thoughtfully designed community developed in the 1900s by the Canadian Pacific Railway. Shaughnessy was planned as an esteemed alternative to the West End and laid out by L.E. Davick and Frederick Todd who designed Central Park in New York. Together they laid out the neighbourhood’s six thousand acres of winding crescents and verdant boulevards in the heart of Vancouver. Today, this elegant enclave offers a long list of advantages to prospective homebuyers. For example, there are highly regarded schools in the area, including Shaughnessy Elementary, Quilchena Elementary, and Carr Elementary Schools. Additionally, Point Grey Secondary is just beyond the southwest border, Eric Hamber Secondary is to the east, and Prince of Wales Secondary is to the west. There are also reputable private schools in the area, including St. George’s, Crofton House, York House School, Little Flower Academy, and Vancouver College, to name a few.
While Shaughnessy is strategically positioned in the centre of the city, it is regarded as the core of the Westside. Shaughnessy offers quick and easy access to major transportation routes and public transit. It is bounded by 16th Avenue on the north, 41st Avenue on the south, Oak Street on the east, and a circuitous route of 16th Avenue to Marguerite/Cypress/Arbutus and 37th to Laburnum. Moreover, Shaughnessy encompasses four lovely public parks, including the stunning fifty-five-acre VanDusen Botanical Gardens, and is near several shopping destinations, including Arbutus Village Shopping Centre to the west, South Granville Rise to the north, Oakridge Shopping Centre to the south, and a mix of shops and restaurants along Oak Street to the east.
All of these advantageous features contribute to the desirability of Shaughnessy real estate.

Many properties in Shaughnessy were constructed before the 1940s, though you will also find new construction in the neighbourhood as well.
