Hastings is a neighbourhood in Vancouver East that extends to the north all the way to the Burrard Inlet. Its boundaries are marked by Main St, Hastings St, Clark Dr, Venables St, and Nanaimo St. Hastings is home to the Port of Metro Vancouver and covers a vast majority of the northern area of Hastings. This neighbourhood is an eclectic mix of industrial buildings, condos, apartments and heritage homes. Railtown, an up-and-coming neighbourhood east of Gastown, is home to many artists, musicians and intimately upscale dining. Hastings is part of a revitalization plan to turn around what was once a dangerous and drug-filled neighbourhood. Trendy stores, pop-up shops, cafes and restaurants can be found throughout the industrial areas of Hastings. Further west, the neighbourhood becomes more residential with beautiful heritage homes with waterfront views.<\/p>\n
