A lot of the work we have done in the South Main neighborhood has involved installing plumbing and heating systems for rental suites. This came about as the result of changes to zoning, in the 1990s, that allowed rental suites to be added to homes in the South Main area, which are mostly single-family homes. Of course, as our plumbing customers know, we also take care of maintenance and emergency repairs for them. Call now to book a professional South Main plumber.

Just south-east of the downtown peninsula, South Main refers to the stretch of Main between East 2nd and East 33rd Avenues but the neighborhood, taking in the mainly residential streets on either side, is actually called Mount Pleasant . For a long time, this area was considered to be the “wrong side of the tracks” but with the hipsters moving in and opening galleries, breweries and boutiques, this is now Vancouver’s answer to New York’s Brooklyn.S


Being primarily a residential area, a lot of the appeal of South Main is in hanging out with the locals, strolling the neighbourhood with a coffee from a local roaster in hand. But there are a few spots worth checking out along the walk. A little north of the actual “South Main” border is the Main Street SkyTrain station, as Science World, a recommended stop for those with families. Two blocks east of Main at East 8th Avenue, you’ll find “Dude Chilling Park,” named by locals after the site’s modernist wooden sculpture of a figure in repose. During the summer it’s full of hipsters on picnic blankets as well as home to outdoor yoga and a Sunday farmer’s market. Continue up to East 15th Avenue for the grand Main Street Heritage Hall, which was at times both a post office and used by the RCMP. At East 33rd Avenue, head west a few blocks to get to Nat Bailey Stadium, an old-fashion 1950s ballpark which home to the minor league Vancouver Canadians baseball team. Right across the street is Queen Elizabeth Park, the city’s highest point, boasting spectacular public gardens.


South Main, centered on Main Street in the Mount Pleasant area, is home to hip indie stores selling local fashion, vintage clothing and stylish stationery. Its buzzing food and drink scene encompasses everything from tasting rooms at craft breweries to classic diners and chic dim sum spots. Indian eateries serving samosas and sweets fill the nearby Punjabi Market district, also popular for its spice and sari shops.
