Towns in British Columbia to Live and Vacation rentals
My mum is at coming out to bc for 6 weeks in october/sep time
I'm just looking for some advice for areas
first 3-4 areas Vancouver area but outside of the city and Vancouver island for Vacations rentals, looking to spend 1-3weeks in each place.
Also want some areas to look at for living purposes, for possibly renting and buying, within 90mins of Vancouver possibly and within 1hour of the US border, or on Vancouver Island.
Schools as I have sister who's 9 years old, safe area budget would be around $250,000 - $300,000Cnd for house 3-4bedroom, Rental budget would be under $1300 a month,
(obviously no intention of buying yet but just to get an idea if she did decide 2 years down the line),
My mum hates Big cites but also hates places out in the sticks , She currently lives In ryde isle of wight, (so Portsmouth and Southampton when you need it).
and before that lived 40mins from London, Ottershaw, and loved it there.

Unfortunately on that budget it will be on the lower end of the scale, and they're not the nicest of places at that price.
My sister has rented houses in Vancouver when coming to visit but they tend to stay either on the North Shore or Kitsilano. It's usually around $2.5k to $4k per week.
I'm sure you can get them for much less. For vacation advice, we'd need to know what environment you'd like to be in (lake, ocean, mountain, middle of nowhere, urban, suburban...). What activitives do you plan to do? What is your vacation budget? And so on.
