Housing In Oakridge

Oakridge is one of Vancouver’s younger neighbourhoods and as such, many single family dwellings were built in the bungalow, rancher, or split-level styles. Higher density housing, including high-rise condominiums, have been built along the main arterial routes, closer to the transportation hubs at West 41^st and Cambie Street. In 2014, The City of Vancouver approved a rezoning of the area around Oakridge mall which includes the possible construction of 14 high rise towers, between 9 and 44 stories tall which will drastically increase housing availability.
