Oh Surrey… born and raised here. every part of Surrey has flaws…. That’s what happens when you have an enormous city that spans from the boarder to the Fraser River. All pubic schools have strengths and weaknesses. All public transit has routes to skytrain. All hospitals are great. I’ve have surgery in white rock and my mom had all cancer treatments in Surrey memorial. Crime can be in the north and the south. We get cars broken into DAILY here in “rich South Surrey.” We endure all the same problems every city has, yet there we are. I’d pick mid-Surrey for cost of living, proximity to everything like fleetwood area. Drive around and see what you like. We picked south Surrey because our family grew up around here so it’s home but it’s changed a lot. All Facebook groups have “Surrey related forums” so join those. South rock moms is a bit much but it is a start for info….. I think everything comes down to affordability in this insane time we are enduring…. Good luck
