Southlands is one of the most unusual and lovely communities within the city of Vancouver. Lying on the banks of the mighty Fraser River, the Southlands real estate market offers a rural oasis a short distance away from downtown Vancouver. Known as the only neighbourhood which allows stables and horses on the community land, this is a farmland area with all kinds of charm and history. Though it may not appeal to all, the Southlands real estate market offers some great properties in a rural setting whilst remaining close enough to the amenities, facilities and attractions of this world class city. No other Canadian city gives you the opportunity to live on glorious farmland so close to a the downtown, one of the things that makes the Southlands real estate market unique.
