i've heard very good things about coal harbor as well. Where is English bay exactly? looking through the mls site, i've run across plenty of condos in both areas. checking out that link you posted now.
btw looking to spend 700K- 1M range. 2 bed + den (hopefully). yeah, i can't stand driving in traffic congestion - love to be able to walk everywhere day to day.

On March 1st, I'm moving into the building next to the building that DH was in while he was living here. It's just between English Bay and Sunset Beach, right down on Beach Avenue.
Which means... that this too, shall be the view from my balcony as of the beginning of March
I'd like to move downtown next year, but Yaletown is more my style.Comment

Yeah... t'is true. I am going to love living on Beach Ave cause there's no one out my window.... I gotta look straight down to see the street, then I see beach, then ocean and mountains off in the distance (and to the side)Originally posted by spunky1

Wait until you see the sunsets from your balcony over English Bay. They blow me away in summer. Its like a nighly light show that makes you ooh and awe out loud.Originally posted by MaskedMan

I love the island too.
Surrounded by mountains, water everywhere. I live 2 minutes from the beach.
Everytime I am in the Fraser Valley I just cringe at how there is no ocean breeze.Comment

I don't know actual stats, but I suspect that it has just as much sunlight per annum as most coastal cities in NA. When you factor in the considerations, like its moderate climate (no snow in the city yet sking nearby and annual golf...,), little humidity and no bugs/mosquitos, clean air quality, sun that doesn't set until 10PM in summer... on balance, the rain is a reasonable trade-off to deal with.Originally posted by quiet

I also defy anyone to show me a city in the world of Vancouver's size that can even approximate the amount of nature in and around it and amenities to experience it. Nothing can touch us. I went on a sea-kayak trip on the west coast of Vancouver Island where orca's were coming up to my kayak. To think that we have coyotes across the street from me walking on the seawall and I am downtown or my friend in North Van has grizzley bears and mountain lions in her backyard in a cosmopolitan city is amazing. I just saw pics of the largest concentration of bald eagles in the world just a short drive towards Whistler. You don't have to go far to experience what we have whereas in most cities I have visited, its a trek to go windsurfing, mountain climbing, white water rafting...Comment

what are the best 4-year colleges in the vancouver area? (public/state run colleges)Comment

I love travel and reading about travel destinations...I love the message boards on LonelyPlanet.com and hearing others experiences. I was supposed to go last fall to Spain, Portugal. Morocco and Algeria but that didn't happen. My last big trip was almost 3 months of back-packing to Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Burma, Malasyia a couple of years ago.Originally posted by Brad Xtremepay

There's not as much rain as all the hype. Like hershie said, there's no more rain than any other coastal city. And besides, with Whistler, Blackcomb and other ski resorts about 45 mins away..... I'm quite happy to have rain instead of snow while I'm driving around the city
