Where to live in Vancouver?

Question

I am looking at moving to Vancouver from California (time for a change). I just graduated from college and am wondering which towns in Vancouver are best for a 23 year old female. I am not looking to live in the middle of no where....a downtown scene would be nice. If you have any suggestions, please let me know!

Thanks!

Answer 1

A young person fresh out of college moving to Vancouver has to live in the West End. It is not the cheapest place but it is the most exciting place. West of Burrard St. for sure and preferably west of Denman. Secondary choices would be the Yaletown and Kitsilano areas. Any place else is just a suburb. Great for raising a family but not for a single person.

Answer 2

Answer 3

you can always live downtown vancouver, lots of apartments are being built down there.. but they are very expensive.  for an apartment they can be up to 1.4 million dollars.  

you can also live on the west side... but houses are pricey too.

Answer 4

Yaletown is defitely the place for someone out of college to live. It's convient and its really like the place to live. It's close to all the best restaurants and to the night life scene. It's also really convient. Anywhere in the west end is a good choice.
