You'll find Amazon's massive distribution center driving employment, plus the Richmond Olympic Oval keeps the area buzzing with activity. The Canada Line changed everything here - suddenly downtown Vancouver became a 25-minute train ride away.

Tech companies are flocking to Richmond too. EA Sports, Nintendo, and countless startups call this place home. River Rock Casino Resort provides steady employment for hundreds of locals. The Aberdeen Centre and Richmond Centre mean you never have to leave the city for shopping or dining.

Plus you're steps from the Night Market during summer months - nothing beats grabbing late-night bubble tea after viewing condos with clients.

You can grab dim sum for breakfast, Vietnamese pho for lunch, and Japanese ramen for dinner. These newer developments along Sexsmith Road offer better layouts than older buildings.
