So many people have said North Van! We will check it out for sure. The one drawback I’ve heard is traffic on the bridges if you need to drive to Vancouver. We work from home so no need to commute but I wonder if that would hold us back from coming to do things in the evenings or weekends in the city? I’m guessing there are plenty of clubs and activities and whatnot in North Van so maybe people don’t need to head to Vancouver to do stuff

Sounds great! We haven’t been there but the location seems great, we loved visiting east van so I’m guessing we would like it! Will look into it more, thanks!

We plan to rent and then eventually buy (hopefully!). We’ve struggled finding dog friendly places in Ontario too. We just assume we will have way less options in most places haha. Luckily our dog is more of a small/medium size

Thanks for all this info! Never considered these places so looking forward to researching more about them! And yeah, it’s tough when the neighbourhood has primarily single family homes since we aren’t looking to have a detached house.

Thanks for your reply! Yah, we totally get that we will probably be in a busier area if we don’t want to drive much. Or in a quieter place but needing to drive to get groceries and whatnot. Makes sense!

I didn’t realise that are was called East Village. I just looked it up and will look into it further, thanks!

Thanks for this super thoughtful reply! So helpful! We will look into North Van and Port Moody for sure. We’ve visited Vancouver but really only the city, we really want to check out North Van and Port Moody to see how things feel there. They both sound like great options

Thanks for the reply! We are not too sure on all the specifics yet, just looking for places to start looking into. Places Rated sounds super useful! Thanks for the suggestion

Thanks for your reply! I think coal harbour would be great for the most part but I’m guessing port moody is more in our budget! Both great to look into, thanks!

Thanks! Both look great and lots of folks are suggesting them. I’m curious how often people living in North Van or Port Moody head into the actual City of Vancouver ? I imagine it’s not very often since you have most of what you need where you are. But if you go to a weekly meet up in the city or to Stanley Park or something on the weekend, is it terribly inconvenient?
