Whats the best place to live in BC?

Question

Thats not to big but big enough that not alot of stuff closes early and theres lots to do?

Answer 1

Prince George for many reasons.  It is large enough to have a university but small enough to have a rush hour that lasts 10 minutes.  The property is still affordable; it is a good place to raise a family; there are many lakes, ski hills and golf courses around.  It has an international airport with customs for direct flights to other countries and it is only an hour's flight away from Vancouver or Edmonton.   It doesn't have the weather that Victoria enjoys, but it's not too hot or too cold either.  PG is definitely my pick for the best spot in BC.

Answer 2

VANCOUVER!!!

Vancouver is the world's most desirable place to live, according to a survey of EIU.

The Canadian city, nestled on the Pacific coast, was one of four locations in that country to rank at the top of the Economist Intelligence Unit's livability survey, which looked at conditions in 127 cities.

The other top-ranking Canadian cities were Toronto, Calgary and Montreal.

The EIU study assessed nearly 40 indicators in five broad categories -- stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education and infrastructure.

"In the current global political climate, it is no surprise that the most desirable destinations are those with a lower perceived threat of terrorism," said Jon Copestake, editor of the report.

"This reflects the fact that many global business centers have a developed infrastructure and widespread availability," the report states. "Still, the overwhelming majority of cities in the top livability range are based in western Europe and North America."

The report said Canada, "with low crime, little threat from instability or terrorism and a highly developed infrastructure," is the most livable destination in the world.

Answer 3

I went to Vancouver Island and it was beautiful!

Answer 4

Victoria or the suburbs of Vancouver. Close to the ocean, mild winters and beautiful.

Answer 5

Nowhere too far North. It's too rainy and cold!

If you like heat, maybe try Kelowna.

Vancouver Island is also a very good choice. I lived in Victoria for 3 years, and I miss it. Lots of clubs and late night restaurants, a great bus system, and plenty of neat activities to check out.

The only down side is the ferry to get back home on the mainland, but you learn to deal with it.
