Visiting / Moving to Vancouver
I've wanted to move to Vancouver for a long time (I have a Canadian passport), but I've never been there so obviously I would like to visit first.
I don't think I will be able to get anyone to come with me for the visit so are there any good ways to get to know the city on your own? How crazy is rental in Vancouver? I pay £350/month for a small one bedroom flat in one of the poorer boroughs of London. Is it worse than that? Can you move further out and start to find more affordable houses, or does it just end? Thanks in advance. |

£350 is about $665. That will get you a room in a shared house in the Centre of Vancouver or a basement in the outer suburbs.

I know someone who pays $2000 for a small 2 bed apartment in an old building in the west end but then they are located right by English Bay (paying for the view and location) |

Oops, I meant £350/week. So I'm paying just under 3000CAD/month.
I guess I should be okay then. Thanks for the answers so far. |

Indeed. Though for a short time, I can continue work remotely.

For $3000 a month you could get a pretty nice apartment almost anywhere in the city, I think, although I wouldn't want to spend that much on rent for a long time.

That's great to know. London rent in crippling so it's nice to know I could pay less.
Any thoughts on exploring the city solo? |

Re: Visiting / Moving to Vancouver
Thanks for all that info. I'm not worried about walking around alone. It's more finding things to do while I'm there. To get a feel for the place and the people so I can decide if I want to make the move there.
Is there a citysocializer equivalent? |
