Fisher’s Landing

TBC we’re still working on this page!

Fisher’s Landing (and the surrounding neighborhoods) are the most convenient neighborhoods in Vancouver. Exactly 15 minutes away from Downtown Vancouver, Downtown Camas, and Portland airport. Easy access to the best food and shopping on 192^nd, 164^th, and Mill Plain. 

Fisher’s Landing East

At the heart of downtown Vancouver lies Esther Short, the vibrant business district that serves as the nucleus of the community. Every weekend, visitors flock to Esther Short Park, home to a bustling farmer’s market and an array of festivals. Main Street, the district’s focal point, hosts beloved establishments such as Little Conejo, Kindred Homestead Supplies, and the iconic Kiggins Theatre. However, it’s important to note that Esther Short primarily offers apartment and condo living, with detached single-family homes being a rarity.

South of Esther Short lies The Waterfront, a crown jewel in Vancouver’s landscape, representing a $1.5 billion investment. This transformative project has graced downtown Vancouver with a 7.3-acre waterfront park, a luxurious hotel, and a plethora of new restaurants and winery tasting rooms. The area boasts a picturesque pathway linking with the Waterfront Renaissance Trail and hosts weekly summer concerts and block parties. There are a number of luxury apartments for rent in the Waterfront area and one luxury condo for sale.

Bennington

Hough was named Vancouver’s Historic District because this neighborhood holds the largest amount of pre World War 2 housing in Vancouver. Hough and Arnada are some of the most walkable neighborhoods in Vancouver. The streets are lined with trees, neighbor’s front lawns are decorated with pollinator-friendly native plants, and old architectural styles give this neighborhood a unique charm. If you love the vibe and charm of Portland homes, you’ll get a similar vibe here.

Cascades (Highlands, Park East, Park West)

This small charming neighborhood is very similar to Hough but it’s not registered as a Historic Neighborhood. Rumor has it that Arnada got its name from 3 women architects who helped form the neighborhood. The downside to this neighborhood is that it is right next to the freeway and you’ll want to pay attention to the upcoming bridge replacement plan if the house you want is right next to the freeway.

Neighborhood Gems

La Sorrentina

Fantastic pizzeria serving up authentic Naples style pizza on the East side of town. Make sure you order a side of focaccia to go with your pizza!

Gustav’s

The best German joint in town. The owners of Amaro’s Table bought the business and brought back the original recipes by Horst Mager.

Tap Union Freehouse

Casual pub that serves some of the best sandwiches in Vancouver. Settle down for a beer and board game night or shop from their bottle shop next door.

Short & Sweet

One of the best lunch spots in downtown. You can get a fresh boba tea with a delicious bahn mi and relax. They also sell mochi donuts on the weekends and often have lines out the door.

Brewed

My favorite downtown coffee shop. Great coffee, great service, and awesome affordable breakfast. Who can say no to a $4 breakfast sandwich??

3Howls Remedy House

Opened in 2024, this is Vancouver’s only TRUE vegan restaurant. Their mac n cheese got the meat eater’s approval. Their cocktails are amazing. The atmosphere is great for a date night.

Pros of living in Fisher’s Landing

Cons of living in Fisher’s Landing

Pay a premium – Fisher’s Landing and Cascade Highland is one of the pricier neighborhoods in Vancouver.

It’s very suburban – which can be a pro, especially for families. There are a lot of plazas and big box stores and parking lots. This is not a walkable neighborhood.
