Oakridge Multiplex Buyer's Guide (2026)

Oakridge is reinventing itself into one of Vancouver's most ambitious new town centres — a walkable hub of shopping, parks, and homes around the Canada Line on the west side. For buyers who want a brand-new multiplex home (a duplex, triplex, or fourplex with a private door) near that energy, here's what to know.

Where Oakridge is, and what it's like to live there

Oakridge sits on the west side along Cambie Street and West 41st, centred on the transformed Oakridge town centre with its shopping, public spaces, and green plazas. The surrounding streets are leafy and increasingly home to brand-new ground-oriented housing. In our view, it's the most polished, amenity-rich new neighbourhood the city has built in a generation.

What a multiplex home costs in Oakridge

Across Greater Vancouver, the benchmark price for an attached home — the category covering townhouses and similar attached homes — was $1,043,400 in April 2026, down 5.1% from a year earlier, according to Greater Vancouver REALTORS. The same report showed a balanced market, which means more choice and more room to negotiate than buyers had a couple of years ago.

Oakridge runs above the regional benchmark. Listing data from Zolo (as of June 2026) puts the median townhome asking price around $1.6 million, ranging widely with size and location. For a typical sale value, the Vancouver West townhouse benchmark was $1,340,400 in April 2026, down 5.4% from a year earlier. You pay for the transit, the brand-new amenities, and the west-side address — and the balanced market gives you room to negotiate.

Getting around: the Canada Line advantage

Oakridge is built around the Canada Line, with the Oakridge–41st Avenue station at its core, putting downtown about 10 minutes away and the airport roughly 15. It's genuinely walkable around the town centre, and many households here happily skip the second car.

Who Oakridge suits

• Buyers who want amenities at the door — shopping, dining, and green space in a brand-new centre.
• Commuters and travellers who'll use the Canada Line to downtown and the airport.
• Families who want new, walkable, transit-rich homes near parks.
• Downsizers who want a low-maintenance home with everything close.

How to buy a brand-new multiplex here

Brand-new duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes are appearing across Oakridge and the west side because recent provincial housing rules opened up small-scale homes on lots that used to allow only a single house. Many sell as pre-sales — you reserve before completion, usually starting with a deposit around 5% of the price, and get first pick of floor plans. The newest homes often sell quietly, so get on the early list and talk to our team about what's coming.
