Fraser Real Estate & Houses for Sale

Fraser is a "jack-of-all-trades" when it comes to the feel of this neighbourhood. Even though this part of Vancouver is not known for its lively ambience, its busier streets are still quite dynamic, and with its a few bars, it is very easy to find a place to grab a drink because they are generally located around the corner. Most areas in Fraser are very quiet, as noise from streets and other parts of the city is rarely an issue. There are approximately 40 green spaces close by for residents to explore, including Kensington Park and Memorial South Park, and they are especially well-distributed, which results in them being easy to get to from the majority of locations within the neighbourhood.

Transportation

Fraser does not demand use of a car as several other methods of transportation are at the disposal of house buyers. Most homes for sale in this neighbourhood are located in places that are particularly suitable for people who like to travel by walking; carrying out day-to-day needs is very convenient without the use of a vehicle, and a good number of businesses of different types can be found as well. Active property owners will also value the bicycling-friendly nature of Fraser. In particular, there is generally a bike-share station in proximity, and the cycling infrastructure is fairly good. Owing to about 10 nearby bus lines, Fraser is a fairly convenient part of Vancouver for moving around by public transit. On the other hand, cars are a rather limited transportation option in Fraser because coming across a place to park is not very easy.
