SHAUGHNESSY
The neighbourhood is the site of many historical homes, especially in First Shaughnessy. Of the houses 51.5% were built before or during World War II, compared with 20.8% for the city at large. This is mainly due to the 1981 First Shaughnessy Official Development Plan by-law, which promotes private property ownership and single-family dwelling, while limiting property subdivision and population density.
Shaughnessy區位在Fairview區南邊, 彼此以十六街為交界區內有著名的Van Dusen Botanical Garden.
此區是溫哥華的精華區, 不但可以看到英式傳統豪宅的建築, 亦可以看到美式早期殖民的獨特風格, 宅院占地寬敞為此區獨立房的特色.
