    May move to Vancouver

    I'm in Montreal currently but considering moving to Vancouver because of the weather and the beach. Never been there before. Any suggestions? Where's the best place to rent a home, considering I have a family?

    Anyone from Vancouver in here? Do you like it?

          Lots of things to love, few things to dislike.



          Tip: Avoid moving to Richmond, if there's an Earthquake, it'll sink, and you'll die.

              It's pretty pricey here, what's your budget? Looking to rent or buy?

              If you're raising a family, I'd recommend Langley... It's about half an hour outside of Vancouver, lots of family communities, clean city, doesn't have a lot of crime and drugs like the bigger suburbs...

              Or, if you can afford it, North Vancouver is the way to go, but the prices go up practically every day.

                              I don't plan to pay much more than $1000/month to rent a 2 bedroom apt. Is that possible or are the prices really much higher than Montreal?

                              Is there lots of traffic in Vancouver? I hate driving in traffic.

                                  Lol..It is a very clean city.Why do you think we have homeless people?The weather probably is a factor why people are coming here for the winter and probably our welfare system.I don't like seeing bums pan handle either.

                                      Vancouver itself is dirty. DIRTY I say. Has a lot of nice and clean nature surrounding it, if you are fortunate to have a house there, its all good. DIRTY.

                                          lol that sounds freaky... the only thing I dislike is theres too much rain, and hastings kinda creeps me.

                                              Both are reasonable so long as you stay out of the downtown core.
                                              Oh, and avoid the bridges too.. if you don't like traffic.

                                              But for that price, you should be fine for finding a place. It just might not be right downtown.

                                                      for $1000 a month you can rent out a basement...

                                                      Traffic wise, avoid rush hour.

                                                          If you're just getting an apartment, that'll be fine, especially in the suburbs.

                                                              Funny, I love when people resort to profanity. Vancouver used to be much cleaner years ago, since then it has been over run by homeless people, drugs and their dealers, prostitution, and crime. Vancouver Island is a nice place, Victoria for example.

Vancouver used to be much cleaner years ago, since then it has been over run by homeless people, drugs and their dealers, prostitution, and crime. Vancouver Island is a nice place, Victoria for example.
                                                                      Funny you should pick Victoria. Victoria has way more bums per capita than Vancouver.

                                                                      Vancouver's got a handful of ugly streets, as does any city. Stay away from 2-3 blocks on the edge of town, and you're fine.

                                                                                                          I don't plan to pay much more than $1000/month to rent a 2 bedroom apt. Is that possible or are the prices really much higher than Montreal
