A Complete K–12 Education Circle, Within a 10-Minute Walk

Five minutes to elementary school. Seven minutes to secondary school. Daycares, preschools and early-learning options are also within the surrounding walkable neighbourhood.

At ENZO, the family school journey—from the early years through Grade 12—can remain close enough to walk.

Located at 530 West 59th Avenue on Vancouver’s West Side, ENZO is approximately a five-minute walk from Sir Wilfrid Laurier Elementary School and a seven-minute walk from Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School.

This places ENZO within one of the West Side’s most convenient and walkable circles of education, while home remains quietly positioned on an inside residential street away from the traffic of Cambie Street.

Which schools are within walking distance of ENZO Townhomes?

Two Vancouver public schools serving the elementary and secondary years are within a 10-minute walk of ENZO:

• Sir Wilfrid Laurier Elementary School: approximately five minutes on foot

• Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School: approximately seven minutes on foot

Families can also find daycare, preschool, Kindergarten and other early-learning options within the surrounding 10-minute walking area.

This means the daily journey from the early years through Grade 12 can remain rooted in one highly walkable Vancouver West Side neighbourhood.

School catchments, programs, registration and placement are administered by the Vancouver School Board and should be independently confirmed by each family.

What specialized academic programs does Sir Winston Churchill Secondary offer?

Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School offers an unusually broad combination of specialized academic pathways within one Vancouver public secondary school.

Its current programs include:

• International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme

• French Immersion

• French Immersion International Baccalaureate

• Ideal Mini School

• Prelude, a Grade 10 enriched cohort program

• Synergy, alongside a broad range of academic, arts, technology, business and applied-skills courses

Churchill has offered the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme since 1983 and was the 277th IB World School. The academically challenging two-year program emphasizes research, communication, critical thinking, self-management and preparation for university-level study.

Churchill also offers an established French Immersion program, including a pathway through which eligible students may pursue both French Immersion and the IB Diploma Programme.

The Ideal Mini School provides a smaller cohort environment for academically motivated, creative and collaborative students. Located in its own dedicated wing at Churchill, the program emphasizes community, mentorship, social responsibility, leadership and cross-grade connection.

For Grade 10 students seeking greater depth and independence, Churchill’s Prelude Program offers enriched coursework in areas including international studies and leadership, with a consistent peer cohort and preparation that may support a later application to IB.

Few Vancouver public secondary schools bring together this range of academic, bilingual and smaller-cohort pathways on one campus. Rather than making an unverifiable claim about overall teacher quality, the breadth and longevity of these specialized programs provide stronger evidence of Churchill’s academic depth and experienced program-specific teaching teams.

For ENZO families, these opportunities are located approximately seven minutes from home on foot. Specialized secondary education does not begin with a commute across the city. It begins with a walk through the neighbourhood.

More morning, less rush

Living near school changes more than the commute.

A five- or seven-minute walk can mean fewer rushed departures, fewer daily car trips and less time waiting in school traffic. Children can gradually develop the confidence to walk independently as they grow. Parents gain more flexibility around drop-offs, pickups, sports and after-school activities.

When schedules permit, home is even close enough to become part of the midday rhythm—whether that means retrieving something forgotten, meeting a parent or returning home for lunch.

Less time commuting means more time for family life:

• More time for breakfast

• More time for sleep

• More time for hockey, swimming, music or art

• More flexibility around after-school activities

• Fewer daily car trips

• Greater independence as children grow

• A calmer transition between home and school

The real value of walkability is not measured only in minutes. It is measured in what those minutes give back.

A quiet inside street near Cambie

ENZO combines educational walkability with something increasingly difficult to find in new Vancouver townhomes: a quiet inside-street setting.

The community is close to Cambie Street, Oakridge Park, neighbourhood services and major north–south connections. Yet the homes are not positioned directly on a busy arterial road.

Cambie provides the connection. West 59th Avenue provides the calm.

For families, this creates a rare balance: schools and everyday conveniences remain close, while home feels more residential, private and removed from traffic.

A new family townhome designed beyond three bedrooms

ENZO is a boutique collection of 20 non-stacked Vancouver West Side townhomes, under construction for anticipated Spring 2027 move-in.

Every ENZO home includes:

• Three full-sized bedrooms

• A dedicated den

• A separate flex room

• Direct underground parkade access into the home

• Adaptable family storage

• House-like, multi-level living

• No residence stacked above or below

The den and flex are additional rooms beyond the three bedrooms. They allow the home to change as family life changes.

The den can become a private office, homework room or quiet study. The flex can accommodate sports equipment, seasonal storage, a mudroom, media room or guest use. Families are not forced to sacrifice a bedroom whenever they need workspace or storage.

Are ENZO’s secondary bedrooms large enough for real beds?

Yes. Every bedroom at ENZO is designed to accommodate at least a queen-sized bed with a bedside table on each side.

This applies not only to the primary bedroom, but also to the second and third bedrooms.

Many contemporary townhomes and duplexes technically provide three bedrooms, but their secondary bedrooms may be difficult to furnish once a queen-sized bed is introduced. At ENZO, bedrooms are planned as functional rooms for long-term living—not simply spaces that satisfy a bedroom count on a floorplan.

Children, teenagers, grandparents and overnight guests can have rooms that feel complete rather than temporary.

How does ENZO compare with a new duplex?

Families comparing ENZO with a Vancouver duplex should look beyond the number of bedrooms and compare how the entire home functions.

Many duplexes offer three bedrooms but may not also provide a separate den, a bedroom-sized flex room, extensive family storage and secure direct-to-home underground parkade access.

ENZO offers all of these within one coordinated floorplan.

The additional den and flex allow the three bedrooms to remain bedrooms. Direct parkade access makes arrivals with children, groceries, strollers, luggage and sports equipment easier in every season. Purpose-designed storage helps contain the practical volume of family life.

For many families, this can make ENZO more adaptable than a conventional duplex—not because it has more labelled bedrooms, but because it provides more ways to live around them.

What is direct-to-home parkade access?

Every ENZO townhome has secure underground parkade access leading directly into the residence.

Residents do not need to cross an exposed courtyard, enter a shared residential lobby or carry groceries around the exterior of the building before reaching home.

For families, direct parkade access can make everyday arrivals simpler:

• Children can move directly from the vehicle into the home

• Groceries and larger purchases travel a shorter distance

• Hockey bags, bicycles and sports equipment are easier to manage

• Strollers and luggage remain protected from rain

• Arrivals feel more private and house-like

It is the convenience of an internal residential arrival, with the weather protection and security of underground parking.

Is ENZO suitable for long-term family living?

ENZO is designed specifically around the changing spatial needs of families.

Three genuinely usable bedrooms support parents, children and guests. The den provides dedicated space for work or study. The flex absorbs the equipment, storage and changing uses that accumulate over time. Direct parkade access simplifies daily arrivals. The non-stacked design means no neighbour lives directly above or below.

Just beyond the front door, elementary school, secondary school and early-years education are within the surrounding walkable neighbourhood.

This combination makes ENZO particularly well suited to families who want to remain on Vancouver’s West Side without outgrowing their home as children move from Kindergarten through secondary school.

A home ready for the September 2027 school year

ENZO is currently under construction, with move-in anticipated for Spring 2027.

That timing allows families to settle into the neighbourhood before the September 2027 school year—learning the walking routes, establishing new routines and making the home feel familiar before the first bell.

ENZO brings together a combination rarely found in new Vancouver West Side townhomes:

• A quiet inside-street address

• Sir Wilfrid Laurier Elementary approximately five minutes away on foot

• Sir Winston Churchill Secondary approximately seven minutes away on foot

• Early-learning options within the surrounding walkable neighbourhood

• Three full-sized bedrooms

• A dedicated den and separate flex

• Bedrooms designed for at least a queen bed and two bedside tables

• Direct underground parkade access into every home

• Adaptable storage for real family life

• Anticipated Spring 2027 move-in

Five minutes to elementary school. Seven minutes to secondary school. More room for everything that happens before, after and between.
