Driving
If your trip involves visiting friends and family or going to other places in Greater Vancouver, Commercial Drive is one of the best places to be. In addition to providing easy access to downtown Vancouver, Commercial Drive is easy to drive in and drive out of. Unlike downtown or other neighbourhoods ( Kitsilano, the West End, Yaletown, Douglas Park and other neighbourhoods west of Main St) you do not have to drive and additional 20 to 30 minutes to get out of Vancouver. By car we are 10 minutes from the freeway.
