Arbutus Ridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arbutus Ridge is a mostly residential neighbourhood in the city of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is bordered by 16th Avenue in the north, 41st Avenue in the south, Mackenzie Street in the west, and East Boulevard in the east. Many people who live in the southern and eastern parts of neighbourhood identify themselves with other neighbourhoods such as Kerrisdale, Shaughnessy, or Mackenzie Heights.
One of the catalysts for growth in the neighbourhood was the existence of the Vancouver-Steveston streetcar line of the B.C Electric Railway, which ran between 1905 and 1952. The upper part of Arbutus Ridge, known as Mackenzie Heights, was settled in the 1910s to 1930s. The lower part wasn't developed until the 1940s and 1950s when fill was brought in from False Creek. St. Mary's Kerrisdale, an Anglican church built in 1913, is one of the heritage structures in the uplands area of the neighbourhood.
[edit] Education
Prince of Wales Secondary School is located in the neighbourhood, along with Carnarvon Elementary School and Trafalgar Elementary School.
