Answer 1

Stanley park area

Answer 2

if you don't mind the drive i would live in the White Rock/South Surrey area

Answer 3

West Vancouver and Vancouver West.

For price ranges you can look up real estate here:

West Van: http://www.realtylink.org/prop_search/Pr...

Vancouver West: http://www.realtylink.org/prop_search/Pr...

Best areas in West Van are Ambleside and Dundarave becuase they are close to everything, but also the most expensive.

In Vancouver West the Kerrisdale and Kitsilano areas are some of the better ones.

Keep in mind that these are the some of the safest places to live in Vancouver but also some of the most expensive.

Answer 4

The best area is near where you get a job. One rule in Vancouver is to make sure you never have to cross a bridge to get to or from work. Unless you really like being stuck in traffic.

Answer 5

Best:

West van   even condos 1 million +

Downtown and Kitsilano  condos about $900K- 1 Million

East vancouver: avoid

Burnaby/New West  Houses $700-$800K TwnHse: $450-500K

Try the Valley:

Cloverdale area of Surrey  Single family houses $500-$600K TwnHse $350-$400K

you can get a good idea from

http://www.mls.ca

and drill down into Vancouver and Fraser Valley areas,

Market here is softening now but no one is predicting crash.  Land is finite between mountains, oceans and borders so free fall unlikely as good investment.  

Answer 6

False Creek area is beautiful, though I think expensive

Answer 7

The neighborhoods of Kerrisdale, Southlands and the West End are particularly attractive.  Southlands have huge mansions which boasts one of the highest costs in the area.  Kerrisdale feels a bit British.  And the West End is a high-rise neighborhood right next to downtown, close to Stanely Park, entertainment, shopping and the beach.  There are even suburb style houses which makes a great escape from the feeling of living downtown.
