I've got a place in North Van and a few places in Surrey and Coquitlam. SOME parts of Surrey and Coquitlam are nice though Coquitlam is closer to VanCity (it all depends on how often you need to go to VanCity). VanCity has more than it's share of scuzzy places(unless you wanna pay $2000+ for a decent place) so I would recomend one of the burbs.
