2006 485 W 42ND Avenue in Vancouver: Oakridge VW Condo for sale in “CLARIDGE HOUSE” (Vancouver West) : MLS®# R2873396
Oakridge Real Estate
The Oakridge area was one of the last parts of Vancouver to be left in its natural state, with the exception of a golf course built near West 49th and Cambie in 1926 and some institutional construction including hospitals and boarding schools prior to World War II.
It was after the war that development began to expand into the wooded areas of Oakridge. The city’s Jewish community moved south along Oak Street in the post-war years (the Jewish Community Centre was built at the intersection of West 41st and Oak), and the Canadian Pacific Railway opened its lands in the area to development that erupted in the 1950s. Much of the area was built with single-family homes, and the Oakridge Centre shopping mall, constructed in 1959 at West 41st and Cambie, provided a centrepoint for the residential boom.
As a relatively young community, Oakridge is constantly evolving and growing in terms of its features and makeup. The Oakridge Centre mall – Vancouver’s first shopping centre – is perhaps the largest draw bringing people into the neighbourhood. Langara College, which delivers a number of educational services to more than 23,000 students, is also located in Oakridge on West 49th east of Cambie.
Oakridge has expanded even more with the construction of the Canada Line along Cambie Street, which was completed in August 2009. Two stations, Oakridge – 41st Avenue Station and Langara – 49th Avenue Station
The city is conducting a “master planning” process for the Oakridge Centre area, potentially increasing retail, residential, commercial, office and community uses on the site.
