Where condo stock concentrates: along West 41st Avenue and the village edges — low-rise condos and townhouses on West Boulevard and East Boulevard, plus seniors-oriented buildings near the village. The housing stock is otherwise predominantly detached single-family homes on tree-lined streets, almost all freehold. The Kerrisdale Business Association promotes more than 250 businesses in the village district, concentrated on West 41st Avenue between Maple and Larch streets and along West and East Boulevards.

Kerrisdale real estate: your questions answered

How many apartment-condo buildings does Kerrisdale have?

Three: Sterling by Cressey (6400 West Boulevard, 37 homes, completed 2018), McKinnon by Cressey (6300 West Boulevard, 40 homes, completed 2019) and Boulevard Private Residences (5325 West Boulevard, 38 units, built 2017). Kerrisdale's housing is otherwise predominantly detached homes; the counted condo stock is a thin, village-edge shelf.

Is there any 55+ condo I can buy in Kerrisdale?

None that I know of. The seniors options in Kerrisdale itself are rental/care (Crofton Manor; Granville Gardens at the south edge), not ownership.

Can I rent out a Kerrisdale condo long-term?

Yes — strata rental-restriction bylaws have been void since November 24, 2022 anywhere in BC. Short-term rentals are a separate gate: a strata may still restrict them and the City's short-term rental rules apply.

What extra Vancouver tax applies if the condo sits empty?

The City of Vancouver Empty Homes Tax: 3% of assessed taxable value on homes declared or deemed vacant (2025 reference year, payment due April 16, 2026), with an annual declaration required. City taxes themselves were due February 3, 2026 (advance) and July 3, 2026 (main), with a 5% penalty on unpaid balances.

Which schools serve a Kerrisdale condo address?

SD39 catchments are address-based and split: the two locator samples on record are 5555 Carnarvon Street → Kerrisdale Elementary / Point Grey Secondary and 7455 Maple Street → McKechnie Elementary / Magee Secondary. Magee Secondary (6360 Maple Street) is physically in Kerrisdale. Confirm the exact address with the VSB locator before relying on a catchment.

If I buy a townhouse unit at Sterling or McKinnon, what am I actually buying?

A strata lot in the counted condominium development — same strata, same Form B, same depreciation report as the building's apartment units. The townhouse form changes the floor plan, not the tenure or the diligence.

Which secondary school will my child attend?

It splits by address between Magee Secondary (in Kerrisdale, 6360 Maple Street) and Point Grey Secondary — the only two locator runs documented are 5555 Carnarvon Street → Kerrisdale Elementary / Point Grey Secondary and 7455 Maple Street → Dr. R.E. McKechnie Elementary / Magee Secondary. Run the specific address in the VSB locator before marketing or relying on a catchment.

Does the Empty Homes Tax apply to a Kerrisdale purchase?

If the home will sit vacant or be held as a secondary property, yes — 3% of assessed taxable value on homes declared or deemed vacant (City of Vancouver, 2025 reference year). Also calendar the City deadlines: advance taxes February 3, 2026, main taxes July 3, 2026, 5% penalty on unpaid balances.

Streets, schools and transit near Kerrisdale condos

Kerrisdale is a southwest Vancouver neighbourhood centred on the West 41st Avenue village between roughly Larch Street and Blenheim Street, extending north toward West 33rd and south toward West 49th. The GVR board sub-area name is "Kerrisdale." Nearby areas: Arbutus Ridge, Shaughnessy, Oakridge, Marpole, Dunbar-Southlands, Quilchena.

The housing stock is otherwise predominantly detached single-family homes on tree-lined streets, almost all freehold. The Kerrisdale Business Association promotes more than 250 businesses in the village district, concentrated on West 41st Avenue between Maple and Larch streets and along West and East Boulevards.
Secondary catchments split between Point Grey Secondary and Magee Secondary by address — two locator samples confirm the split: 5555 Carnarvon Street → Kerrisdale Elementary / Point Grey Secondary, and 7455 Maple Street → Dr. R.E. McKechnie Elementary / Magee Secondary. Confirm any other address with the VSB locator.
Transit and the Greenway: transit is bus-based — there is no SkyTrain station in Kerrisdale; the R4 41st Ave RapidBus serves the Oakridge–41st/Joyce corridor to the east. The Arbutus Greenway's temporary path runs along the east side of Arbutus Street and West Boulevard for 8.5 km between Fir Street and Milton Street, crossing West 41st Avenue at the village's east end; the City lists the nearby frequent corridors as the #99 Broadway, #25 King Edward, #41 West 41st, #49 West 49th and #14 Arbutus/West Boulevard routes.
Recreation anchor: the Kerrisdale Community Centre, 5851 West Boulevard (indoor pool, ice rink, fitness centre), operated by the Kerrisdale Community Centre Society jointly with the Vancouver Park Board since 1943, with a public library branch and Kerrisdale Centennial Park in the complex; the Kerrisdale Cyclone Taylor Arena is at 5670 East Boulevard and the Maple Grove outdoor pool at 6875 Yew Street.

Local rules that affect condo buyers in Kerrisdale

Vancouver Empty Homes Tax and city taxes: City property taxes: advance taxes were due February 3, 2026 and main taxes July 3, 2026, with a 5% penalty applied to the unpaid balance after the due date.

Good to know about Kerrisdale condos

The two newest Kerrisdale condo buildings share one block and one developer. Sterling (completed 2018) and McKinnon (completed 2019) are both Cressey buildings on the West Boulevard block between West 47th and West 49th — Cressey bought the adjacent block after Sterling and repeated the large-format, downsizer-oriented formula (Sterling's homes start at more than 1,200 sq ft per launch coverage).
Sterling answers to two addresses. Searching only one address understates the building's listing and sales history.
The City states the 5.65-acre site's seniors facility "is in need of a renewal," that retention and replacement with minimum disruption is a minimum requirement of any redevelopment, and that the ARKS Community Vision calls for additional planning study and consultation before a rezoning for seniors housing on the site.
The Greenway through Kerrisdale is still in temporary form. The City confirms the Arbutus Greenway path is a temporary path along Arbutus Street and West Boulevard, crossing West 41st Avenue — homes backing onto it should check the City's current greenway plans before closing rather than assuming the present layout is final.
The community centre predates most of the village stock around it. The Kerrisdale Community Centre complex has operated jointly with the Vancouver Park Board since 1943 — one of Vancouver's first community centres — and includes the Cyclone Taylor Arena (5670 East Boulevard), with the Kerrisdale Play Palace running inside the arena in summer.
There is no Kerrisdale area plan to read. Kerrisdale has no separate adopted community plan; the governing citywide document is now the Vancouver Official Development Plan (which replaced the Vancouver Plan on March 31, 2026) — a buyer looking for a "Kerrisdale plan" will not find one.

Townhome complexes in Kerrisdale

Streets, schools and transit near Kerrisdale townhomes

Kerrisdale is a City of Vancouver neighbourhood on the southwest side, centred on the West 41st Avenue village between roughly Larch Street and Blenheim Street, extending north toward West 33rd and south toward West 49th. Its MLS sub-area name (GVR board) is "Kerrisdale." Nearby areas: Arbutus Ridge, Shaughnessy, Oakridge, Marpole, Dunbar-Southlands, Quilchena.
Housing shape: predominantly detached single-family homes on tree-lined streets — character homes from the early 1900s, post-war bungalows, "Vancouver Specials" in pockets, and large modern rebuilds — on classic west-side lot dimensions, with larger estate lots north toward Shaughnessy; almost all detached stock is freehold. Strata product concentrates along West 41st Avenue and the village edges (low-rise condos and townhouses, plus seniors-oriented buildings near the village).
Schools (SD39 Vancouver): public elementaries in Kerrisdale include Kerrisdale Elementary (5555 Carnarvon Street), Kerrisdale Annex (3250 West 43rd Avenue), Maple Grove Elementary (1924 West 45th Avenue) and Dr. R.E. McKechnie Elementary (7455 Maple Street) — the Ministry/VSB-listed names. Magee Secondary (6360 Maple Street, grades 8–12) is physically in Kerrisdale. Secondary catchments split between Point Grey Secondary and Magee Secondary by address, and two sample addresses were actually run in the locator pass: 5555 Carnarvon Street → Kerrisdale Elementary / Point Grey Secondary, and 7455 Maple Street → Dr. R.E. McKechnie Elementary / Magee Secondary. Crofton House School (3200 West 41st Avenue), an independent junior-kindergarten-to-grade-12 girls' day school founded in 1898, sits on a 10-acre campus at Kerrisdale's western edge.
The village and recreation: the Kerrisdale Business Association promotes more than 250 businesses and services in the village district, concentrated on West 41st Avenue between Maple and Larch streets and along West and East Boulevards. The Kerrisdale Community Centre, 5851 West Boulevard (indoor pool, ice rink, fitness centre, public library branch in the complex), has operated with the Vancouver Park Board since 1943; the Kerrisdale Cyclone Taylor Arena is at 5670 East Boulevard, the Maple Grove outdoor pool at 6875 Yew Street, and Kerrisdale Centennial Park, Elm Park and Maple Grove Park serve the neighbourhood.
Greenway and transit: the Arbutus Greenway's temporary path runs along the east side of Arbutus Street and West Boulevard for 8.5 km between Fir Street and Milton Street, crossing West 41st Avenue at the village's east end. Transit is bus-based — there is no SkyTrain station in Kerrisdale; the City lists the nearby frequent corridors as the #99 Broadway, #25 King Edward, #41 West 41st, #49 West 49th and #14 Arbutus/West Boulevard routes, and the R4 41st Ave RapidBus serves the Oakridge–41st/Joyce corridor to the east.

Local rules that affect townhome buyers in Kerrisdale

Form B diligence (any strata, including Sterling/McKinnon townhouse units): Strata Property Act s. 59 — the Form B states the lot's monthly strata fees, amounts owing, approved special levies still payable, the CRF balance and an insurance summary, with the rules, current budget, any Rental Disclosure Statement and the most recent depreciation report attached; provided within 7 days, maximum $35 plus up to 25 cents per page. A Kerrisdale townhouse unit inside a counted condo development is diligenced exactly like its apartment neighbours — same strata, same Form B.
Multiplex zoning (the rule remaking Kerrisdale's lots): By-law No. 13817 amended the Zoning and Development By-law No. 3575 to replace the old RS districts with the R1-1 district, allowing up to 6 strata units (or up to 8 secured rental units) on former single-family lots, subject to the district schedule and site-specific City confirmation; heritage-listed status should be checked first.
City of Vancouver taxes: advance taxes were due February 3, 2026 and main taxes July 3, 2026, with a 5% penalty applied to the unpaid balance after the due date.
Empty Homes Tax — vancouver only: the City of Vancouver charges an Empty Homes Tax of 3% of the property's assessed taxable value on homes declared or deemed vacant (2025 reference year; payment due April 16, 2026). A Kerrisdale home that will sit vacant or be held as a secondary property must budget for it.

Good to know about Kerrisdale townhomes

The newest "townhouse" supply here is multiplex product, not complexes. Fresh results are half-duplex pairs (some expressly "no strata fees") and small R1-1 stratas like The Kerrisdale Collection (2535 West 39th Avenue, built 2026, strata fees on a half-duplex form) — the zoning change, not a townhouse-complex building wave, is what is adding attached stock to Kerrisdale.
Kerrisdale has no plan of its own — and its city plan is brand new. There is no adopted Kerrisdale community plan; the Vancouver Official Development Plan replaced the Vancouver Plan on March 31, 2026, so material citing the Vancouver Plan as current policy is a plan out of date.
The secondary-school split runs through the middle of the neighbourhood. Magee Secondary sits inside Kerrisdale, yet the documented locator run for Kerrisdale Elementary's own address (5555 Carnarvon Street) returns Point Grey Secondary — "in Kerrisdale" and "in the Magee catchment" are different statements, and only an address-level locator run separates them.
A 19-unit townhouse complex at 2893 West 41st Avenue has no known name. It is the kind of Kerrisdale stock that only surfaces when a unit lists.
The community centre predates most of the houses' second owners. The Kerrisdale Community Centre complex (5851 West Boulevard) has operated with the Park Board since 1943 — one of Vancouver's first community centres — and anchors the village end of the neighbourhood the way the Arbutus Greenway anchors its eastern edge.

Lots and land in Kerrisdale

What trades here

What land actually trades here: individual fee-simple detached lots carrying character homes, post-war bungalows, Vancouver Specials and modern rebuilds, with larger estate lots north toward Shaughnessy. Many character-era homes sit on lots where the R1-1 multiplex zoning (up to 6 strata or 8 rental units) now applies — price the land with and without multiplex value, and check for heritage-listed status first.
Fee-simple lots: almost all detached stock is freehold; a fee-simple lot carries no strata corporation, no Form B and no strata fees.
All of it is built stock, named here only so a land reader does not mistake it for lot inventory.
No lot offering is stated.

Strata product concentrates along West 41st Avenue and the village edges.
Schools (SD39 Vancouver, Ministry-listed names): Kerrisdale Elementary (5555 Carnarvon Street), Kerrisdale Annex (3250 West 43rd Avenue), Maple Grove Elementary (1924 West 45th Avenue) and Dr. R.E. McKechnie Elementary (7455 Maple Street) are in Kerrisdale; Magee Secondary (6360 Maple Street, grades 8–12) is physically in Kerrisdale. Secondary catchments split between Point Grey Secondary and Magee Secondary by address — two locator samples confirm the split: 5555 Carnarvon Street → Kerrisdale Elementary / Point Grey Secondary, and 7455 Maple Street → Dr. R.E. McKechnie Elementary / Magee Secondary.
Independent school: Crofton House School, 3200 West 41st Avenue, is an independent junior-kindergarten-to-grade-12 girls' day school founded in 1898, on a 10-acre campus at Kerrisdale's western edge.

Local rules that affect land buyers in Kerrisdale

City plan: Kerrisdale has no separate adopted community plan; it falls under citywide policy. Citywide land-use direction now comes from the Vancouver Official Development Plan, which replaced the Vancouver Plan on March 31, 2026.
Zoning — Zoning and Development By-law No. 3575: For detached-house lots, By-law No. 13817 amended By-law No. 3575 to replace the old RS districts with the R1-1 district, allowing up to 6 strata units (or up to 8 secured rental units) on former single-family lots, subject to the district schedule and site-specific City confirmation; heritage-listed status should be checked first. A secondary suite is an approved dwelling unit within a larger dwelling — only one per single-family home, it cannot be strata titled, and a third suite is not allowed.
Subdivision — City of Vancouver Subdivision By-law No. 5208 (fees under By-law No. 14538): Subdivision of a Kerrisdale lot runs under By-law 5208; confirm the current fee schedule under 14538 and the lot's R1-1 position with the City for the specific application.
City of Vancouver property taxes: advance taxes were due February 3, 2026 and main taxes July 3, 2026, with a 5% penalty applied to the unpaid balance after the due date.
Strata block (applies to the neighbourhood's strata stock and in full to any bare-land strata lot): Form B within 7 days, max $35 + 25¢/page; depreciation reports on a 5-year cycle for 5+ lots since July 1, 2024 (a sub-5-lot strata sits UNDER that threshold — directly relevant to Kerrisdale's new small multiplex stratas); minimum 10% CRF since November 1, 2023; rental bylaws void since November 24, 2022; only 55+ age bylaws valid (SPA ss.123.1/123.2 + May 1, 2023 exemptions). A fee-simple lot carries none of this.
PTT — worked examples (inputs + tier math; at Kerrisdale price points the above-$3M further 2% is a live item, not a footnote): tiers 1% to $200,000, 2% to $2,000,000, 3% above, plus a further 2% on the residential portion over $3,000,000.
