Renovating in Kensington-Cedar Cottage

Kensington-Cedar Cottage in East Vancouver is home to a mix of craftsman bungalows, duplexes, and post-war Vancouver Specials. The neighbourhood has become increasingly popular with families attracted by relatively larger lots and tree-canopy streets.

Renovation activity in Kensington-Cedar Cottage centres on basement suite legalisation (many homes have existing unregistered suites), kitchen modernisation, and bathroom overhauls. Many character homes in Cedar Cottage date from the 1910s–1930s and may qualify for heritage protections or incentives. The City of Vancouver’s simplified multiplex application process applies to R1-1 lots throughout the neighbourhood.
