Where to stay in Sunset
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Fraser Street is the spine. Sunset wraps the multicultural Fraser Street district in the south-east quadrant of Vancouver, and the blocks on either side of that street are what a stay in this neighbourhood is actually close to. Its neighbours frame the choice.
Marpole and Oakridge close the western side while Victoria-Fraserview takes the eastern one, which leaves a bed in Sunset inside a band of four neighbourhoods in British Columbia rather than beside a single sight.

About Sunset
What are the main landmarks in Sunset?
Sunset registers no landmarks of its own. The neighbourhood's marker is the Fraser Street district it surrounds, and the streets behind that spine run residential out to the borders with Marpole, Oakridge and Victoria-Fraserview. The photogenic set pieces sit elsewhere in Vancouver.
Anyone here for sights treats the south-east quadrant as a base and travels, because Sunset trades named buildings for a mixed and largely residential grid in British Columbia.
What is the history of Sunset?
Its story is a street's. Sunset formed around the Fraser Street district in the south-east quadrant of Vancouver, and the mix of communities along that street is what the neighbourhood is described by rather than any founding date. Boundaries came from its neighbours.
Marpole and Oakridge on the west and Victoria-Fraserview on the east fixed the outline of Sunset within Vancouver, British Columbia, so the neighbourhood reads as the ground between three named others.
Where is Sunset?
