Surrounding the downtown inner city is regular residential houses and apts. I dont know it they have them named as neighborhoods. They are quite nice though with good sidewalks etc. On the long drive out to UBC is all houses and 2 or 3 floor apts. I visited there 3 summers ago and was quite impressed with the city. I like Seattle too but not as much as Van. The downtown throbs with life and excitement that Seattle cant. The beaches encircle the city. The architecture of Van BC is great too. I think this is Yaletown. These are what they call skinny towers which are narrower and farther separated than traditional high-rises to allow more sunlight and human interaction/landscaping to occur.
