A Village Neighborhood Built Around Staying
Kerrisdale has kept a village feel that's increasingly rare in Vancouver, centred on the shops and cafes along 41st Avenue. Large single-family lots line quiet streets near Arbutus Ridge, and many residents have lived in the same house for decades, sending children through Crofton House School or York House School and watching the neighborhood grow up around them.
What we hear most from Kerrisdale families is a preference for staying, not moving. Downsizing to a condo is often on the table before a family calls us, but many seniors would rather keep the house and add the right support instead. That's the starting point for most of our Kerrisdale care plans.
Kerrisdale families don't usually want less house, they want more support in the house they already have.
