East Vancouver has Vancouver’s widest mix of homes for sale: older detached houses on 33-foot lots, brand-new half duplexes, laneway homes and new three-to-six-unit multiplexes. New-construction homes in East and South Vancouver currently start around $990,000 for a laneway home. Deepak Jagpal sends matching East Van listings the day they hit the market.

New construction in East & South Vancouver
Vancouver’s R1-1 zoning now allows several homes on lots that once held one house, so many East and South Van streets are seeing new triplexes, fourplexes and laneway homes sold separately. That creates a new entry point: a brand-new ground-oriented home for less than a detached house. Learn how it works in the multiplex guide.
Tips for buying in East Van
- Check the exact school catchment — it can change street by street.
- Ask whether a suite or laneway is permitted and metered separately.
- Compare against sales on the same block; East Van values vary a lot within short distances.
- For new builds, confirm the home warranty and completion status.
