Killarney & Champlain Heights Multiplex Guide

Killarney and Champlain Heights, in Vancouver's quiet southeast corner, are among the city's greenest, most family-friendly value neighbourhoods. Surrounded by parks and known for townhome living, they're an easy fit for families who want a brand-new multiplex home — a duplex, triplex, or fourplex with a private door — without a downtown price. Here's the rundown.

Where Killarney and Champlain Heights are, and what it's like to live there

These adjoining neighbourhoods sit in the southeast of the city near the Fraser River. The standout is green space — Everett Crowley Park's roughly 38 hectares of trails and forest anchor the area, and the riverfront is a short walk from much of Champlain Heights. Champlain Square mall covers everyday shopping. In our view, it's the most suburban-feeling, nature-rich corner of the city that's still, well, in the city.
