Quiet and residential, this neighbourhood is popular with families and quite sleepy after 8 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The streets are lined with single-family homes for the most part though some density can be found in <a href=\"https:\/\/dunbarvillage.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Dunbar Village (opens in a new tab)\">Dunbar Village<\/a> and along West 16th Avenue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, laneway homes are starting to pop up throughout the area offering some alternative housing options. The area is typically more affluent and houses are costly. However, there are some affordable options, especially for shared housing perfect for <a href=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/2019\/03\/best-housing-off-campus-for-ubc-students\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"UBC students (opens in a new tab)\">UBC students<\/a> to share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"border: 2px solid lightcoral; text-align: center; margin: 30px 0; padding: 20px; color: #BD8D7C;\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px;margin: 0;\"><b>&gt;&gt; Read More:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/2019\/03\/best-housing-off-campus-for-ubc-students\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Best Housing Off-Campus for UBC Students\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Transportation in Dunbar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dunbar is well serviced by key <a href=\"https:\/\/www.translink.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"TransLink (opens in a new tab)\">TransLink<\/a> bus routes moving people quickly and reliably both east and west as well as North into downtown.
