Overview
Grandview-Woodland is the City of Vancouver local area around Commercial Drive ("The Drive"), between Burrard Inlet and Broadway and between Clark Drive and Nanaimo Street (City of Vancouver local-area boundary). Commercial Drive is the neighbourhood's main commercial street, and Grandview Park is on it at Charles Street.
Commercial-Broadway station sits at 2550 Commercial Drive, on the southern edge, where the Expo Line meets the Millennium Line. TransLink counted it as the third-busiest SkyTrain station in 2024 (6,757,027 boardings), behind Waterfront and Metrotown. The Broadway Subway, 5.7 kilometres from VCC-Clark to Arbutus Street, is due to open in late fall 2027.
The Britannia site in the north holds Britannia Secondary (1001 Cotton Drive), Britannia Elementary, Britannia Community Centre and the library's Britannia Branch (1661 Napier Street). Templeton Secondary (727 Templeton Drive), Grandview Elementary (1926 Woodland Drive) and Lord Nelson Elementary (1355 Garden Drive) are also inside the neighbourhood. The Vancouver School Board's catchment locator shows which school serves an address.
The City of Vancouver adopted the Grandview-Woodland Community Plan in July 2016. It does not replace the zoning on a lot, so check the City's zoning map, Bill 44 and the provincial transit-oriented area rules for any parcel before paying for redevelopment potential.
What you get living here
The things that don't show up in a listing — the standing rituals and quiet anchors that make Grandview-Woodland feel like a place rather than a postal code.
Italians revitalized The Drive after 1950
The first wave of Italian families settled in Strathcona between 1896 and 1914. By the 1940s–50s the community had shifted north onto Commercial Drive, where new arrivals from Calabria, Abruzzo, and Friuli opened cafés, social clubs, and import shops along an eight-block strip between Venables and Broadway.

Britannia (June 5, 1976) wove a secondary school, library, rink, pool, and community centre into one 17-acre village
Founded by a 1974 grassroots movement, the Britannia Community Services Centre opened June 5, 1976 on Napier Street with the secondary school, an elementary, public library, ice rink, swimming pool, and community centre integrated by alcoves and courtyards. Heritage Vancouver calls it 'the best, and one of the only, public examples' of Christopher Alexander's A Pattern Language applied to a Canadian civic site.
