There are quite a few restaurants to choose from. Some good places to grab a bite are Whiskey Six BBQ and Triple O's Restaurant. Venture a little further for a meal at Le Petit Saigon, Indian Village Eatery or Bao Chau Vietnamese Restaurant. If you love coffee, you're not too far from Tim Hortons located at 2805 East Hastings Street. Groceries can be found at Asian Way Supermarket which is a 10-minute walk and you'll find Pharmasave only a 13 minute walk as well. For nearby green space, Callister Park, Hastings Park and Il Giardino Italiano could be good to get out of your home and catch some fresh air or to take your dog for a walk.

Without a car, you can get around rather easily. The closest transit stop is a BusStop (Southbound Renfrew St @ E Georgia St) and is not far, but there is also a Subway stop, Rupert Station Platform 1, only a 19 minute walk connecting you to the TransLink. It also has (Bus) route 016 29th Avenue Station/arbutus nearby.
