Triplexes for Sale in Kerrisdale, Vancouver, BC

Living in Kerrisdale

Kerrisdale sits west of Granville, south of 41st, and stretches roughly to 57th and Blenheim. The village core at 41st and West Boulevard mixes long-running family shops with newer cafés and the Hollyburn skating club. Streets are deeply tree-lined with character homes from the 1920s–1940s. Schools — including Kerrisdale Elementary, Crofton House (private, girls), and Point Grey Secondary — are a major driver of demand. The Canada Line is a few blocks east; west-side bike lanes feed the seawall.

Established families and downsizers from west-side detached homes who want to stay in the catchment without managing a 6,000 sf lot. Buyers in their 40s–60s, often with adult children nearby, are the dominant cohort for ground-oriented buys here.

Kerrisdale duplex and townhome prices are among the highest on the west side outside South Granville. Inventory turns slowly — buyers hold for school catchments — but well-finished homes routinely transact above ask when they do hit market.

Why buy a triplex in Kerrisdale

Triplexes in Kerrisdale are scarce — lot subdivision here faces real neighbourhood resistance and most new ground-oriented inventory comes to market in the simpler half-duplex format. When a triplex does emerge, it's typically pre-construction on a larger 50-foot lot at the Kerrisdale perimeter. The buyer profile is narrow but motivated: long-term Kerrisdale residents who specifically want the smallest-strata experience at a west-side address, or two families pooling resources for a whole-building purchase that keeps both households in the Kerrisdale Elementary, Crofton House, or Point Grey Secondary catchment — an arrangement that distributes a premium address across more buyers than a single detached sale.

What to watch for when buying a triplex in Kerrisdale

Triplex inventory in Kerrisdale is genuinely small and pre-sale focused. For any pre-sale, verify the developer's prior triplex completions in the format specifically (not their half-duplex or townhome experience), and confirm the 2-5-10 NWHP warranty is registered. For whole-building purchases pull financing options early — some lenders apply different underwriting to three-unit residential than to strata townhomes. Confirm how the BC small-scale multi-unit housing rules apply to the specific lot, especially if lot covenants or heritage designations are involved.
