10 Wealthiest Neighborhoods in Canada
7) Shaughnessy Heights, Vancouver
Shaughnessy Heights is an almost entirely residential neighborhood in Vancouver. The annual household income is $777,184, with average home prices at $3.09 million. This neighborhood has beautiful historic homes, with more than half of the homes built prior to World War II. The neighborhood was created in 1907 as an alternate affluent community to the West End, which at the time was the elite of Vancouver. With a population of only about 3,000, the town has growth policies that inhibit commercial development as well as property subdivision and multiple dwelling homes, and instead promotes large plots of land for single-family homes. The neighborhood is home to the exclusive Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club, well positioned to provide the neighborhood the country club feel of the mid-century. This 18-hole championship golf course is a picturesque park-like and forested setting which has hosted numerous Canadian and Pacific Northwest championships, as well as the PGA Tour Bell Canadian Open.
