Car Hire in Downtown - SW Marine Drive - Mini guide to Downtown - SW Marine Drive

Southwest Marine Drive is also known as "Millionarie's Row". This drive travels through brilliant golf courses, eclectic mansions and some of the most wonderful views in all of Vancouver.

Some of the oldest homes in the area date back to 1910 and the architecture is worth the trip to Vancouver in and of itself. The entire area, despite the growth, still remains quite rural in nature. Established primarily in the World War II era, the homes and estates are grand.

Marine drive was originally known as the North Arm Trail to locals. In 1863, the trail was extended to surrounding areas and thus the Marine Drive was born. The name change from the North Arm Trail to Marine Drive came with the introduction of the automobile. Thus, it was no longer a trail and more of a drive for the cars.

With time, the largest of estates with many miles of land have been squeezed out by the introduction of housing complexes and more rural homes. But, with a car hire and some time to drive, the visitor to the SW Marine Drive in Vancouver can catch glimpses here and there of the old North Arm Trail. Set back from the road, the estates retain their charm and grace and many seem to speak of the old war stories and the growth of the area in the wind.
