Oakridge
Oakridge is a well-connected neighbourhood with a mix of residential and commercial zoning straddling 41st Avenue which connects Westside to Eastside, and Canada Line SkyTrain which connects Richmond to Downtown Vancouver. Studded with parks, like Cambie Park, Langara Park, or Langara Golf Club, the area offers pleasing amenities and opportunities for those seeking outdoor enjoyment - or maybe something a little more indoors. The main shopping mall in the area, Oakridge Centre, is currently undergoing a revitalization as the basis of Oakridge Park, a massive Westbank residential development which will become a cultural hub with community gardens, a 1km running loop and children’s playgrounds. It will also include office, retail and entertainment venues at the base of several high-rise buildings. To support the influx of families to the area, several schools are ready for education of people of all ages. Furthermore, with great accessibility to transit, post-secondary students can connect to UBC and Langara with ease.
