If you are ready to give up the party lifestyle but still want to be invited to party, look at Arbutus Ridge. The neighbourhood offers quiet suburban living with the bustle of downtown just a 20-minute bus ride away.

Arbutus Ridge is off the tourist grid but it sits in a desirable enclave of westside neighbourhoods that includes West Point Grey, Dunbar and Kitsilano. The area is predominantly residential and is popular among young professionals and families as it is close to Jericho beach and Spanish Banks and many popular shopping districts including West 4th Ave, West 10th and Kerrisdale.

Average house selling price* (Sept. 2010): $2,335,666
