🛡️ Is Grandview–Woodland safe?

Grandview–Woodland is in the busier half of Vancouver by raw count, and most of what gets reported is property crime rather than violence against people. Normal city sense covers it: lock the car and leave nothing on the seats.

Grandview–Woodland: 1,402 reported crimes, roughly flat on the year before; rank 8 of 24 by raw count, 4% of the city total. Theft from vehicles: 249; offences against a person: 173. Busiest block: the 1400 block of East Hastings Street (181 reports).

Source: Vancouver Police Department open crime data, September 2025 to August 2026, compared with the 12 months before. Raw counts, not per-resident rates — busy shopping and nightlife areas report more because more people pass through them.

☕ Breakfast / coffee (honest shortlist)

• Commercial Drive — Primary strip.
• Victoria Drive — Less crowded.
