Why Live in Ocean Park

Joel Ross, PREC

1. Natural Beauty & Outdoor Access

   • The neighbourhood offers ocean views, wooded trails, and parks like Kwomais Point Park.

   • Ocean Park Terrace & Community Orchard is a charming green space maintained by the city, ideal for picnics and community gathering.

   • There’s a “1001 Steps” route from 15A Avenue down to the oceanfront.

2. Small-Town Village Vibe with Modern Amenities

   • There’s a cozy “village centre” (Ocean Park Village) with boutiques, cafes, restaurants, a library, and local services.

   • Despite its peaceful feel, it’s fairly accessible: transit connections, and it's not too far from key routes.

3. Strong Community Engagement

   • The Ocean Park Community Association is active: heritage projects, beautification, events.

   • Annual neighbourhood celebrations like Ocean Park Day and the Alexandra Festival bring people together.

4. Excellent Schools

   • Well-regarded local schools: Crescent Park Elementary, Ocean Cliff Elementary, Laronde (French Immersion), and Elgin High School.

   • Good for families looking for stability, education, and community roots.

5. Heritage & History

   • The Ocean Park Community Hall, built in the 1920s, is a heritage landmark.

6. Modern Housing Options

   • While there are many large and luxury homes, there’s also new development (e.g., Rockford by Cressey) aimed at downsizers and long-term residents who want to stay in the community.

   • Balanced mix: waterfront estates, single-family homes, and townhomes.

7. Lifestyle & Community Feel

   • Quiet, family-friendly neighbourhood.

   • Close-knit community — people really value that “village” feeling.

   • Less rain than some other parts of the Lower Mainland, according to climate data.
