welcome to Shaughnessy

Shaughnessy is Vancouver’s most prestigious and historically significant neighbourhood—an enclave of grand estates, heritage architecture, and lush, manicured landscapes. Located between 16th Avenue and 41st Avenue, from Oak Street to Arbutus Street, it’s a centrally located residential area intentionally designed for privacy, elegance, and exclusivity. Many of the homes are Edwardian or Tudor-style mansions, set on sprawling lots with mature trees and winding roads. Originally developed for the city’s elite in the early 1900s, Shaughnessy remains home to affluent families, professionals, diplomatic residences, and multi-generational homeowners who value its timeless charm and architectural preservation. The neighbourhood feels serene and removed, yet it’s only minutes from Downtown, South Granville, and UBC.
