When one thinks of Vancouver, many unappetizing images can quickly come to mind: rain\u2026more rain, congested bridges, sprawling forest fires, red eye flights and sky-rocketing housing prices. While there are certainly some barriers to entry, we think this hidden gem is worthy of the price tag.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now, it\u2019s no joke that rain is a reality here, however one great thing about rain is you don\u2019t have to shovel it. As for congested bridges, the reality is, if you can afford to live and work downtown it really is a non-issue. The majority of those poor sots sweating it out on the tarmac are suburban dwellers crawling over the bridge downtown to work, for a taste of the urban life. As for forest fires, well, lets just say they don\u2019t happen downtown. If you choose to save money and head to the burbs, make sure your home insurance covers acts of God, because holy smokes those fires are big. As for housing prices, that deserves its own debate.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d5a30c0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d5a30c0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1254\" height=\"836\" src=\"https:\/\/www.findstoragefast.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/moving-to-vancouver.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-508\" alt=\"moving to vancouver\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.findstoragefast.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/moving-to-vancouver.jpg 1254w, https:\/\/www.findstoragefast.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/moving-to-vancouver-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.findstoragefast.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/moving-to-vancouver-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.findstoragefast.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/moving-to-vancouver-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1254px) 100vw, 1254px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e1840ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e1840ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Settling in Downtown Vancouver vs. Settling for the Suburbs\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e5a8a54 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e5a8a54\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">An Urban \u201cPair-A-Docs\u201d<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-820d42e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"820d42e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The housing market has been so hot that just reading about market prices will make you sweat. With average household incomes around $81,000 and the average price tag around $1.4 million things just don\u2019t seem to add up. It would seem that the Vancouver urban experience has become a perk for only the wealthy or those without car seats. Has this reality dictated that today\u2019s young families, who might very well live downtown if they could afford it, instead find themselves living in more affordable, identical rectangles in the burbs, with a long commute to work their only option? Do these hard-working young couples actually want to raise their kids in suburban cul-de-sacs that require them to drive everywhere?

For starters, perhaps housing in Vancouver can be a great investment, particularly if you\u2019re thinking about long-term and potential savings for your children. Since 2000, house prices have risen on average 6% every year, meaning that if you had bought a house in 2000 you would have seen a 278% return on your investment. Did you miss the boat on this rare investment opportunity? Well, some of it, yes \u2013 but is it over? We think not.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the last year and a half, Chinooks have blown into town slightly cooling off the raging fire in the housing market. This trend is expected to continue through 2020, heading upwards again in 2021.

It\u2019s 5:00 am on a Friday morning in early May and the forecast calls for a sunny 17 degrees. You decide to surprise the kids with a half-day of school. You leave a note with instructions: make breakfast, head to school, and be outside at high noon for an early pick-up. You put on your shoes, grab your bike and head out for the five-minute ride to Kitsilano Beach, with a quick stop at Arbutus coffee for a double espresso to kick-start the heart. The sun slowly rises over the ocean as you simultaneously breathe through your first downward dog \u2013 not a bad start to the day. Now fully awake and energized, the eight-kilometre ride from the beach down to Stanley Park and around the Sea Wall is the perfect alone time before an adventure with the kids.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Home for a shower, a few provisions to pack, a quick stop at the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.findstoragefast.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">storage locker<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and it\u2019s time to pick up the kids and hit the road. With all on board, including a few hunger pains, it\u2019s a quick stop at Mom\u2019s Grilled Cheese Truck and, of course, a homemade ice cream bar at Ernest\u2019s for the road. You point the kid carrier north and head up the Sea to Sky highway for the two-hour drive to Whistler. Arriving shortly before three, with half-day ski passes bought online and a Thule box full of gear, you are on the slopes in minutes, to enjoy an afternoon of fresh powder. It\u2019s -8 degrees at the top and 16 degrees at the bottom as you settle onto the Matterhorn patio for a well-earned margarita while you wait for the kids to finish their last run.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eee5812 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"eee5812\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2121\" height=\"1121\" src=\"https:\/\/www.findstoragefast.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/all-about-the-kids.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-538\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.findstoragefast.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/all-about-the-kids.jpg 2121w, https:\/\/www.findstoragefast.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/all-about-the-kids-300x159.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.findstoragefast.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/all-about-the-kids-1024x541.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.findstoragefast.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/all-about-the-kids-768x406.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.findstoragefast.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/all-about-the-kids-1536x812.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.findstoragefast.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/all-about-the-kids-2048x1082.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2121px) 100vw, 2121px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0b91d15 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0b91d15\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">All About the Kids \u2013 Lost in the Jungle\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c1b1196 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c1b1196\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vancouver isn\u2019t just a giant adult\u2019s playground; it\u2019s equally set up for kids.
