About The East Village

Hastings-Sunrise & Grandview-Woodland

Framed by mountain views and the Burrard Inlet, the East Village sits at the heart of two iconic neighbourhoods: Hastings-Sunrise and Grandview-Woodland.

Discover East Vancouver’s spirit.

The History of Our Neighbourhoods

This is where Vancouver laid its roots – with the first road, first wharf, and a legacy of connection and change. While few old buildings remain, the area’s history thrives in the bonds between neighbours and local businesses.

The East Village Today

Along Hastings Street and north to the port, global flavours meet local flair – home to legacy spots and bold newcomers: kitchens, roasters, breweries, distilleries, and creative studios.

As the neighbourhood evolves, so does its charm. Feel welcomed by local store owners, unwind in green spaces, Kamloops Plaza, or belt out karaoke after dark. Come explore.
