Yaletown, Vancouver Rentals

This part of Vancouver does not demand use of a car since several other modes of transportation are at the disposal of homeowners. Yaletown is especially suitable for those who travel by foot; all daily needs can be carried out on foot, and plenty of businesses are very nearby. This neighbourhood is also a very pleasant part of Vancouver for bike riders. More precisely, a bike share station is always located in close proximity, and the bicycling infrastructure is especially comprehensive. The public transit system in Yaletown is very practical. In particular, the nearest rapid transit station, including Yaletown-Roundhouse Station @ Platform 2 and Yaletown-Roundhouse Station @ Platform 1 with access to the Canada Line, is commonly just around the corner from the bulk of properties in the neighbourhood. The neighbourhood is served by about 10 bus lines, and bus stops are usually nearby. On the other hand, driving is a fairly poor transportation option in this part of the city because it is very hard to park, and the street infrastructure is not very amenable to cars.
