I think east Vancouver to metropolitan mall is very close. East Vancouver is convenient, easy to access to west Vancouver, Richmond and Burnaby, very good
@donnawiess1120 I appreciate you sharing your experience...and for watching the video! You didn't mention which specific part of SE Vancouver you live in, but you are right that some areas are somewhat walkable. But objectively, the majority of areas in that region are less walkable than areas to the North and West...or do you feel that I've got that wrong?
I believe when you ate referring to the lower mainland, you are intending to refer to the MVRD. The lower mainland also comprises the Fraser Valley, and all areas presented in the cideo are within the MVRD.
@kazuya99ace Correct. It's a bit of an old habit of mine to refer to the areas interchangeably (Metro Vancouver and the Lower Mainland). I'm still getting used to calling it Metro Vancouver and not Greater Vancouver.
Very good overall assessment of where to live in Vancouver. Your only description I might take issue with is Mountainview Cemetery. You said "It's not crowded." I don't know. The lots are _tiny._ Must be part of that Vancouver densification plan. But very low turnover. People who move there seem to stay, so the neighbourhood clearly offers something they like. Maybe the quiet.
Yes, Trout Lake is the only lake in Vancouver...and the only inland beach we have (not sure I'd ever swim in that water but many do). The neighborhood (commercial drive) is wonderful, too.
@owenmccord5078 Yeah, it can be a bit confusing. I totally understand. We'd usually refer to the entire peninsula that contains downtown Vancouver as "downtown". However, that peninsula contains other neighborhoods such as Coal Harbour (NE), the West End (NW), Yaletown (SW), Gastown (SE) as well as the traditional Downtown (central). So Yaletown is both separate and a part of Downtown if that makes sense?
Thank you...and yeah, I was avoiding prices in those earlier videos. I was trying to make them more evergreen. You'll find that in my more recent videos I talk about prices more specifically. :)
Yes. Burnaby and Surrey are part of the plan! And no, the westside of Vancouver isn't the only place that you'll find private schools...just the more traditional ones. There are certainly solid private schools in the suburbs too...like White Rock Christian Academy.

Yes, @janiceho6034. Many people love living in East Vancouver. It's central location is an enormous plus for sure!
Thank you for this video! Really love your takes on each place which is so much more useful than only talking about them in numbers
I live in southeast Vancouver and I walk every where. Also, easy access to Richmond, the airport, downtown, U.B.C., Metrotown, etc.

Thanks @eyesuckle...and yes, Mountainview Cemetery is a very quiet neighborhood...except at Halloween when it really picks up.
There is a big park called trout lake which is very good park, walking path and farmer market
Yes, Trout Lake is the only lake in Vancouver...and the only inland beach we have (not sure I'd ever swim in that water but many do). The neighborhood (commercial drive) is wonderful, too.
Great video 😊
Thank you so much @janainamonteiro4322! :)
REALLY helpful!!
@rmsp2901 That's amazing. Really happy to hear that you found my video about living in Vancouver helpful!
Loving your videos!
How do you differentiate Yaletown from “Downtown?”
Do guys have a different term/name for these small districts?

Great information however average price range in different neighborhoods are missing. Overall 😊👍🏼

Could you talk about north burns by, Surrey ? Are there any top private schools in Burnaby and Surrey, or all concentrated in west van
Yes. Burnaby and Surrey are part of the plan! And no, the westside of Vancouver isn't the only place that you'll find private schools...just the more traditional ones. There are certainly solid private schools in the suburbs too...like White Rock Christian Academy.
