The Kitsilano portion of the Arbutus Greenway contains a number of distinct character areas. Examples include:

The stretch around West 6th Avenue, which runs east-west, compared with the rest of the corridor, which tends to run north-south. The experience of being in an established neighbourhood here is defined by neighbouring multi-family homes, 6th and Fir Park, “corner store” style shops, and long-established community gardens. The traffic calmed streets and neighbourhood feel provides a sense of calm to the greenway.

The Marpole section of the Arbutus Greenway also has many distinct characteristics, including the following:

Community Gardens and Victory Gardens, which date back to the Second World War, are located in neighbouring street rights-of-way. Song birds, bees, and lush vegetation contribute to the presence of nature in these areas.
