Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our Richmond (Steveston) home is situated half a block from the south arm of the Fraser River, with a 15 minute stroll into historic Steveston village, for coffee, bars and restaurants, small local boutiques, bakers and butchers. Our Gary Point Park is a favourite for flying kites, BBQ’s or fish and chips on the beach. Local salmon can be bought fresh from the boats at Steveston dock, (yes we have a BBQ). Salmon are running late summer and early fall if you like fishing - just wander down to the docks. Our home is beside a 15 km. waterside foot/cycle path to the Olympic Oval, now a phenomenal community exercise feature. We are centrally located - 15 mins. drive to the airport, 30 mins. to downtown Vancouver, 20 mins. to Vancouver Island ferries, 15 mins. from the US border and 2 hours from Seattle. Whistler village is an hour from Vancouver and can be reached by (arguably) the most beautiful drive in the world.
