Location
Fraser is a neighbourhood that surrounds Fraser Street in East Vancouver. Its official boundaries are E 22nd Avenue to the north, West 49th Avenue to the south, Prince Edward St. to the west, and Windsor St. to the east. Fraser also encompasses an area known as Kensington-Cedar Cottage, which is just east of Fraser St.
Demographic
Although many of the residents living in Fraser speak English as a second language, almost 60%of the neighbourhood’s population is made up of immigrants from various parts of the world. Since Fraser is becoming a more affordable area, people are attracted from busier areas surrounding downtown Vancouver, and single-family homes are becoming more popular in Fraser.
Residential Housing
Home to some of Vancouver’s oldest homes, Fraser offers its residents character, personality and history. With the popular Fraser Street being home to many newly restored heritage homes with beautiful greenery, this area is in high demand. Many homes offer stunning views of surrounding areas, while others are built on the perfect spot of land to recreate your dream home. The Fraser community is also experiencing new condo developments, drawing more young professionals and family to the area. Contact me to find out more about current bench mark pricing in the area.
