welcome to UBC

Often referred to simply as "UBC," the University of British Columbia neighbourhood—technically part of the University Endowment Lands (UEL)—is unlike any other area in Vancouver. Nestled at the city’s far west point, UBC blends academic energy with serene, nature-filled surroundings, bordered by Pacific Spirit Regional Park, Spanish Banks, and the Straight of Georgia. The vibe is distinctly international, eco-conscious, and intellectual, making it a peaceful enclave that feels like a town within a city. Residents include students, faculty, researchers, professionals, young families, and even retirees—drawn by the access to green space, cultural facilities, top schools, and health services. With car-free zones, campus shuttles, and access to multiple beaches, UBC offers a rare combination of sustainability, walkability, and world-class education, all wrapped in a lush coastal setting.
