Getting trendy? Main has probably been the trendiest "high street" in Vancouver for a few years. Compare it to more affluent strips like Dunbar or 41st in Kerrisdale and there are way more places to eat and shop along Main. By contrast The Drive has been mired in its "anti-everything" attitude for too long. Perhaps Fourth, or Broadway west of Macdonald comes close, but they don't have the level of trensetting clothing retail that Main does. Cambie Village is too short a strip.
Prices per sq ft are probably higher than 33rd and Main because Bastion's development is right in the middle of the area, while 33rd is at the southern edge.
