I live on Vancouver Island and it's still pretty close to the city (60 minute ferry ride, not a bad commute), but much cheaper and a safer neighbourhood. You can rent a 3 or 4 bedroom house here with a view for $1200/m. Just depends on how urban you want to be. Hit me on ICQ, I'd be happy to help your search in any way
