The Neighbourhood
The Cut is where nature and culture converge. East Van is special for many reasons, all of which can be experienced naturally at The Cut. There’s a calm serenity here that every city-dweller should get to experience from the peace of Trout Lake to the buzz of The Drive.
A bike commuter’s dream, this 24 km bike path that connects False Creek all the way to the New West Quay runs right alongside The Cut. A relatively flat route, the Greenway is a peaceful commute through nature to work or the perfect place to walk the dog and take the kids for a scooter ride.
Centrally located in East Vancouver, The Cut offers easy access to both downtown and Hwy 1. The Italian Cultural Centre, Van Tech Secondary, and Laura Secord Elementary are all within a 5 minute walk from your front door, so getting to work, school, and recreation is a breeze.
A buzzing central hub that includes Little Italy, The Drive connects a diverse and energetic blend of over 300 dining, retail, and entertainment spots just a few blocks from The Cut.
Two skytrain stations, Renfrew and Commercial Broadway, are a short walk away. Board the train and be downtown in as little as 10 minutes and enjoy an easy connection to UBC with the 99B Line passing on Broadway, three blocks away.
The Cut is just minutes from Vancouver’s only natural freshwater lake, beautifully surrounded by pathways, parks, beaches and trails. With an extensive renewal on the horizon including new boardwalks, lake lookouts, playgrounds and water quality enhancements, Trout Lake is bound to be a destination for generations to come.
