Moving to Vancouver - Best place to live for a family? |
Travel Info Hi, I am moving to Vancouver and was wondering where is the best place to live. My criteria is that it's family friendly with good schools and is safe and is less than 1 hours commute of downtown. Ideally more suburban than urban but somewhere with a bit of life ie. restaurants, pubs, shops, etc. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Travel Tips Hey I was born and raised in Vancouver.. Vancouver is a really beautiful and nice place to live but for safety concerns you may have I would suggest living in north burnaby its the town just east of vancouver its still a short commute downtown and its safer than vancouver..with all of the benefits of vancouver still right there.. yes homes can be rather pricey like me I live in a 1 bedroom apartment here its only $625.00 a month.. in north burnaby it can get a little pricey depending on what your wanting if so south burnaby is just as nice and more of a view... Any other place east of here like langley, pitt meadows etc are nice as well but if your wanting that close to vancouver commute dont go to those areas for you will be driving for at minimum an hour.. If you do move here I hope you enjoy it is a beautiful place to live... Others Bring lots of money. I hear houses are really expensive there. I'd take a look at Langley, or if you don't mind going a little farther down the valley there's Abbotsford -- I've lived in both, the Fraser Valley is a beautiful place to live Welcome to the most beautiful place on earth. Langley is very nice but expensive, heavy traffic all the time. Abbotsford is quite a bit less expensive, it is growing quite quickly, lots of monster homes going up everywhere. Chilliwack, just over an hour drive to downtown Vancouver, very affordable housing ( compared to everywhere else), bit of a drive, but well worth it, the views are incredible, lakes near by, shopping. Come to Pitt Meadows, lots of schools everything is close, but houses are expensive. White rock is a great spot,you are right at the ocean and it is within 1 hour from downtown.Ladner and Tswassen are also by the water,ferry to Vancouver Island and less than 1 hour form downtown.Langley is nice,I was born and raised there but any commute over the Port Mann Bridge,Alex Fraser or Patullo are horrible!!Good luck and Welcome! West Vancouver. |
