i loved kensington-cedar cottage (as a ubc student) but mount pleasant has a great DIY music scene & feels much more ethnically diverse than places like yaletown. i now live in the brentwood area of burnaby which is surprisingly quiet during the daytime, since everyone is leaving the neighbourhood for work. one of the most affordable & convenient areas i've ever lived in !
Amazing @takondwapangalala3755! That's really great to hear...and I wish you all the best with your move. Let me know if you have any questions that I haven't answered yet!
I'm neither young, nor do I consider myself rich, but this film gave me a good overview of the different neighbour hoods. I'm looking forward to getting a better look when I get out there. Just 31 more days!
Great video! I have lived in several neighborhoods in lower mainland and I second false creek and Kitsilano. Everything right at your door step and a wonderful vibe. The proximity to the ocean makes it super cool and the walkability is a plus.
Love your channel, I am Dutch and planned to visit Vancouver next year, of course as a tourist but this information of the Vancouver area is very usefull for a foreigner :)
I have noticed more and more young folk here in Arbutus Walk area in Kitsilano. Since the stratas opened up rentals there are more young ones in the area.
@johnnyboyvan I'm not surprised. That's a great neighborhood! It was actually where I bought my first place nearly 25 years ago...I loved living there when I was young. ;)
@fjva3165 Great idea...but my channel is all about living in Vancouver. I don't know Victoria well enough to be able to give that level of insight. You'll have to ask someone more familiar with that market than I am. :) Appreciate you watching!
I am 40+ and I choose Richmond because, Malls, exotic food, flat sidewalks, not so far from downtown,not many homeless, not limited transportation , warmer that the mountains, and in some neighborhoods you can see the ocean or the airplenes😅
I would recommend renting in these neighbourhoods instead of buying. Tenant rights in BC are very strong. Plus when you buy a condo you only own the inside. It’s not a lot of value for 3/4th of a million. A small stock portfolio generates enough income to cover my rent in yaletown. Keep saving until you can afford land.
@AlexSuperTramp- Nothing wrong with renting. I find that people are often either tenants or owners at heart. Convincing one group of the benefits of the other is usually not super productive. But yes, you can do very well financially by being a tenant. The only route to financial success is not necessarily through home ownership...but it helps. There's a long-standing imbalance in wealth between those that own property and those that do not. And aside from financial reasons, there are many other reasons people may choose to own...like being able to control your own living space and more long-term certainty around your living environment. But congrats to you @AlexSuperTramp- for finding a solution that makes sense for you.
Millennials are not that young anymore lol. The oldest Gen Z folks are in their late 20s already so it's probably for them :) I'm in the middle of the millennial spread, and I'm pushing 40. But I still enjoy the city life even though I'm too old and tired for going out at night.
Well...anyone younger than me is "Young" because I'm not "old". ;) But this is the younger generation (millennials) that's purchasing homes in Vancouver these days (unlike less expensive cities). Gen Z's aren't quite there yet (generally speaking).
@@LivingInVancouver-BC I’m definitely old at 37. I feel old. Especially when I hang out with people younger than 30. After 30, it’s all various stages of old 😂 Gen Z are totally screwed in terms of buying property in Vancouver. Being young and owning property in a desirable location is a thing of the past in most places. Even 10-15 years ago, when millennials were young, it was the case. So young people usually rent in these cool neighborhoods, enjoy their 20s, and then move out. Not only in Vancouver but in most wealthy countries.
True. It's certainly become more challenging for young people to get into home ownership...especially in cities like Vancouver, but the sub-40 crowd is still a powerful force in purchasing homes in Vancouver. A significant portion of my clients are in that group. Both from Vancouver and people moving here from elsewhere..

I have been learning so much about Vancouver from you and you are making it easier for me to move there
Amazing @takondwapangalala3755! That's really great to hear...and I wish you all the best with your move. Let me know if you have any questions that I haven't answered yet!
@@LivingInVancouver-BC I will be reaching out to you when I am ready to make that move for sure
100% @takondwapangalala3755 !

Haha @ordinaryfilmmaker. You and me both!

@maryamyas100 Thanks! Can't really beat those locations, right? Appreciate you sharing your experience!
Totally 💯 Thank you 🙏
👍
Moving to Canada in a month. I’ll be living in Burke mountain with my parents and then move to Ubc. Really appreciate your videos!!
That's amazing @orimazya7729! I hope that you have a smooth move to Vancouver!

Thanks so much @nakpke8571! Really glad to hear that the videos are helping you...whether you are planning on moving here or just visiting!
Love your videos but it's really hard to go through a 23min video without timestamps.
I hear you @kerryhe1! Appreciate you sharing your thoughts on this...and thank you for watching!
yes the video sucks.
@50tigres79 I hope that today is a better day for you!

He forgot to mention that the West Coast Express rail also has a station in Port Moody- a smooth 25 minute ride to Downtown
@jenpenhk yes, that's a great point. Thank you for adding to the discussion! ;)
Please do the same video, but for Victoria and surrounding areas of the island!! :)
