Southlands
Overview
Vancouver's "rural" neighbourhood. A wonderful area featuring large lots and catering to the equestrian set with many stables and riding schools. A distinctly serene and country feel but only 15 minutes to downtown. There are pockets of areas along and above Southwest Marine Drive that feature large mansions with unimpeded views of the Fraser River and the Vancouver International Airport, as do the more modest homes on Deering Island.
