Coal Harbour Video Tour
January 9, 2010 by Amy Kizaki · View Comments
Amy and Laura take you on a tour of one of Downtown Vancouver’s waterfront communities, Coal Harbour.
Coal Harbour is located on the southern shores of the Burrard Inlet and is home to one of Vancouver’s more prestigious marinas, Coal Harbour marina (which is also one of the two marinas that will accommodate larger boats with 330′ slips.
The boundaries of Coal Harbour are Georgia Street, Denman Street, Burrard Street, and the waterfront. Here you will find condominium units in newer highrise buildings, many with fantastic views of the Burrard Inlet, North Shore Mountains, Stanley Park and the marina. Studios start right on the $300,000 mark, one bedrooms in the mid $300,000′s and two bedroom units start in the higher $500,000 range.
The seawall starts in Coal Harbour and trails along the edges of Stanley Park back to the West End community. The Downtown waterfront is home to the new green-built, state of the art convention centre, a close to $900 million dollar project which will be the meeting grounds for the 2010 Olympic staff. Trendy furniture boutiques, yacht sale broekrages and seafood-type restaurants also line the seawall.

The interesting thing about Coal Harbour is the serenity it offers to its residents while being so close to the Downtown core. You do have the heavy traffic on the main roads and you do have the nicely allocated commercial areas that blend in with the residential neighborhoods, but there’s always something nice about having a view of something nice to look at every which way you turn.
