    Vancouver

    Hey guys, there was a thread here the other day about Vancouver and I've heard a lot of nice things about the area. I was trying to get some info about the city from people who live there. My Mother is thinking of travelling & staying there for a while so info or links on neighborhoods, housing and life there in general would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

      Once you go to Vancouver, you stay... it's a very hard city to leave.

          Vancouver is a great city. Expensive, but a great place to live.

          ;)

              That's what I've heard. I definitely want to check it out myself as well...

                  You're just asking for general information about Vancouver?

                  http://www.tourismvancouver.com/visitors/
                  http://www.mytelus.com

                  Those are some great resource pages. Your mother will enjoy Vancouver, it's beautiful here! Where she wants to stay depends on a few things though. Does she want to be close to downtown? On a mountain? Near a lake? On a farm? You need to tell us some more about your mother's likes and dislikes before we can really help you I think.

                          Wow, thanks for the quick replies...

                          Her main criteria is that she doesn't want to have to use a car. So a city area or locale with a good transit system or easy walking distances would be ideal. She is very interested in being around culture, meeting people and learning about the city and country... Otherwise she is flexible.

                          Thanks.

                              Downtown Vancouver or the Westside for sure then. Tranist isn't too bad downtown, it's not as good in the suburbs though. False Creek is a very nice part of downtown Vancouver. These areas will be among the most expensive areas in the Greater Vancouver area to live in.

                                      Skytrain is great for transit. Gets you to downtown fast if you're out in the burbs.
                                      Do you need design work done. I am available check out my site TMC Web Designs

                                          Ok, sounds good. Are there any areas that you would recommend staying away from, i.e. safety wise?

                                              SkyTrain doesn't run everywhere, and the corridor doesn't run through the nicest neighbourhoods. I prefer the 601 bus line

                                              Well, naturally I prefer my car...

                                              Downtown/westside/kits/south granville/commercial drive is all great for walking to places.

                                                  East vancouver around Knight St. can be a little rough, and the Main St/Hastings St. corner and Cordova is the armpit of Vancouver, but just a few blocks away is Gastown, which is trendy.

                                                  Surrey has high crime rates due to lower income, younger population, etc. But there are nice parts, too. Same with New Westminster. I suggest her to go walkabout for a while to get a feel for what she likes.

                                                      Overall Vancouver is a very safe city. There are some parts, in Surrey and Hastings area like Elli mentioned, that probably aren't that safe at night. There's very little reason for you Mother to be in those areas at night anyway so it's not going to be a big issue.

As far as the time frame, it would be from 1 month on depending on what she is able to find. I know she is interested in staying put for a few months or longer if the area feels right.
