Shaughnessy

Shaughnessy is one of Vancouver's most stable and prosperous communities. It centers on Granville St. which is a major thoroughfare linking Vancouver with the southern suburbs and the airport. This exclusive community is situated between 16th Ave. (North) & 41st Ave. (South) and between West Boulevard (West) & Oak St. (East). Shaughnessy is well known for its large well maintained homes and for the unique curving tree lined streets on which they stand.

The Van Dusen Botanical Garden, one of Vancouver's most beautiful attractions is located right in the middle of Shaughnessy. It is a beautifully laid out garden containing thousands of rare, unusual, and interesting plants. Also in Shaughnessy is Canuck Place, a stunningly beautiful and top rate children's hospice, allowing ailing children the opportunity for care in this tranquil and distinctive facility.
