~ I will be posting updates on these Guides and their release dates on my Instagram -
In this video we take a look at 6 different locations, Kitsilano/Point Grey, Downtown Vancouver, Mount Pleasant, Kerrisdale, East Vancouver, and also Burnaby. I go over what each area is like, show what it looks like, and also explain what the average rent for a 1 BEDROOM APARTMENT goes for in each area specifically. This Video took A LONG TIME, as you can imagine. I would greatly appreciate a THUMBS UP, a SUBSCRIBE, and also a COMMENT if you have a second !
A lot of my followers here on KZbin are people who are interested in moving to Vancouver, AND I am listening!! Many people ask which area they should move to in the city depending on their xyz... and I can't always answer every person back individually. That is why I have decided to create this video. AND ON TOP of this video, I will be creating Guides about moving to Vancouver that people will be able to download depending on whichever type of person they are. I'm excited for this guide to release early October!
There are several great areas in Vancouver, and none really BAD at all. Are some places better than others though? YES.
A lot of people ask me things like; Should I move to Vancouver? Is Vancouver expensive? How much does it cost to live in Vancouver? Does it rain a lot in Vancouver? Is Vancouver a good place to live? etc...
Check out my channel for answers to those questions in my other videos!
If you are someone looking to find out more "insider knowledge" from someone who lives in Vancouver, make sure to Subscribe as I have a Vancouver based video every week or so !!
I'd appreciate any support on this video as it was a real time investment, and I'm happy with how it turned out~

I think the one problem people run into when thinking about moving to Vancouver is $$$

[@AdamJBell]

haha Well I can't fight with you on that 😂

[@pilyred8760]

@@AdamJBell I’m heading to Vancouver in August, and have certainly had cold feet while making the decision (at various different points), but it’s getting to a point now where the cost of living isn’t actually all that different than the rest of the country; with a few notable exceptions like Calgary. Looking forward to the move. Keep up the good work :) I appreciate all the information you’re slingin.

Very cheap Langley. Cheap Surrey, East Vancouver New Westminster. Middle range Coquitlam. Upper middle Burnaby more expensive Richmond. Most expensive downtown Vancouver, west Vancouver and North Vancouver. Most exciting for tourist probably downtown and north Vancouver

[@LaikaCatt]

Gotta love Burnaby

[@2kidsnosleep]

I agree and me too since 2001. Vancouver density is so high, streets are packed with cars and roads are narrow, construction everywhere. Burnaby offers a lot of space and encourages you to explore life outside Vancouver city proper. I hate driving and parking downtown now , but I am an old fart now, more suited to the suburbs.

[@sacphilip]

Loved the video. Great effort

[@AdamJBell]

Thanks Sachin, I have been trying to go the extra mile with the video production! 💯

[@ChansayPirate]

After living in Vancouver for so long, it's amazing to know how much I didn't know

[@jeffreygevant3126]

Kitsilano/Point Grey! I live there since 2008. Moving to Vancouver is a lot of decision making. I used to live in Calgary and I started my life there as an immigrant. Calgary has given me so many opportunities. There's so many challenges along the way but those experiences would make me a stronger and better person. I was already established myself in 2008 in Calgary. I recently purchased a brand new condo. in downtown Calgary then all my close friends decided to move from Calgary to other places. That's how I made a decision to move to Vancouver. I traded my 2 bedroom condo. from Calgary to a studio in Kitsilano, Vancouver. That's how the transition and a life trade that I have to do. No regrets.

[@AdamJBell]

Thanks Rahat, glad you thought so!

[@alexteixeira8211]

Good video! Being born and raised in “east” Vancouver I would have probably elaborated on a few more areas instead of just generalizing. Commercial, main, Champlain heights, Oakridge, Kingsway, Joyce, south Vancouver etc. All in or around east Vancouver but have their own pros and cons and differ from each other greatly. Especially when you compare avg rent from let’s say commercial to Champlain you’re likely looking at. 2-300$ difference! Anyways after 24 years living in east van I made the move up to Surrey and have never been happier! Also a very viable option if you work down town especially in the new city centre area localized around the skytrain, sfu, kpu, surrey memorial and city hall. My door to Rogers arena is 39 minutes flat.

[@AdamJBell]

Thanks for the advice Alex, I may do that in episode 2! Sounds like a good location!

[@alexteixeira8211]

@@AdamJBell Yeah! Great for myself. I drive but it's nice to take the skytrain to metrotown etc and not have to deal with parking/traffic . My parents also live right by nanaimo station so sometimes I skytrain when i go to there place. It's nice to pop on some headphones and 22 minutes later be there for just $2.40. My Fiance is a Nurse at Surrey Memorial as well and she walks to work which saves her on Parking $/Time. Majority of my building i'd say are people in the healthcare field.

[@clarifyingquestions]

Chaplain heights is mostly on leased land.

[@funcandarmer]

Amazing production quality for such a small channel

[@AdamJBell]

Been trying to go the extra mile! Thanks Duncan, appreciate it

[@guilhemherisson3254]

Great video. I would have added Marpole and Commercial Drive to the list. Both are highly sought after due to being close to a sky train and in the case of Commercial drive it’s arguably the best street in all of Vancouver. I lived on the Drive for 5 years and absolutely loved it.

[@AdamJBell]

Great additions you are right !

[@guilhemherisson3254]

Adam J Bell I’d like to see a Main st vs Commercial drive video. My partner and I argue about witch is better, she prefers Main and I favour Commercial.

If you're interested in East Vancouver, I recommend searching up Trout Lake and Commercial Drive, two of the nicest community and cultural highlights of this side of town. Renfrew Ravine is also really cool.

[@ButchNews]

Commercial Drive is all very hip but has a very low number of rental units and very few apartment buildings.

I moved from Vancouver to Victoria and couldn't be happier! Vic has everything Van has, plus nicer people and better weather

[@lmtada]

Victoria is newLy wed and nearly dead city. I agree better than Vancouver. However to much government in Victoria (Provincial Government, all government jobs, and contractors, the Federal Navy base in Esquimalt, and Royal Rhodes college, along with UVic. Not much for industry since fishing, logging pretty much ended. Basically service jobs for government. Therefore expect little innovation, high tax, and never ending union inefficiency. Oak bay, Fairfield and North Saanich are nice (lived in all those locations). Still the many, meth heads and drug addicts isn’t resolved (this goes al way from Vancouver down to San Diego same issues). Overall Victoria nice temp from March-October.
