I like the Edwardians down that way, though some are a bit tired looking:

The area is changing fast though ...not sure how far east it will go though.

Apartment Buildings # 1
Early bylaws in vancouver did not allow for apartments above 6 floors, not many were ever built due to land being cheap and available which resulted in most early residents building houses. that being said, some great Art Deco and Edwardians can be found dotted about the city:

A very nice collection. 
Wait for the naysayers though. They'll be along at some point.

No doubt....Vancouver has some great buildings, but they mostly tend to be out of the newer centre and are often overlooked. It's nice to just appreciate them for what they are. I will keep them coming.
