N amed after a former train stop nearby a – you guessed it – cedar cottage, Kensington- Cedar Cottage (or KCC, as it's known locally) is experiencing a rebirth. Attracted by the potential to renovate the modest, older homes in the neighbourhood, the stream of young homeowners moving into the neighbourhood is fast becoming a torrent. Recent years have seen developments sprout up throughout the community – especially where Kingsway, Knight and King Edward converge – and if you explore the repeating mini malls dotting Kingsway, you'll discover a host of hidden gems to ll both your stomach and soul. e Little Saigon strip of Kingsway, for example, boasts some of the best pho and banh mi outside of Hanoi. For bulk organic fare, families can load up at natural grocery store Famous Foods. And for dessert, Vietnamese, Filipino, Latin, German and even gluten-free bakeries have found a home here. Not surprisingly, this smorgasbord of food and culture, combined with the proximity to downtown and Main Street, has also attracted artists and cultural societies alike. e Croatian Cultural Centre, German Alpen Club and Latin Summer Festival all call KCC home. And for lovers of the outdoors, you can't beat the abundant green space of John Hendry Park, which is one of the biggest o -leash dog parks in Greater Vancouver. For young families looking to start their lives in Vancouver, come see everything that KCC has in store. Created by BCLiving in partnership with Zoocasa Brokerage 1. Cedar Cottage Co ee House 2.
