I'd like to live outside the city but in close enough proximity that's convenient to commute via public transportation. I love suburbs which are affordable/not expensive, with great schools, amenities, safe, etc.
Looking for nice apartment community - 2bedroom. Can you guys give me any leads and if anyone has recently relocated to Vancouver can you give some advice as to how to make a smooth transition please? Especially with shipping and with an 18mnth old child. Looking forward to your responses.
HELP! Moving to Vancouver in June..where's the best place to live

Hi, JoyfulNATural,
Check previous posts for a post labelled Emigrating to Vancouver - it may give you a starting point for ideas. Good luck with your move.
Thanks...will do.
My friend rented a nice 1-bedroom apartment in Burnaby, close to Metrotown, when she first moved to Vancouver: http://www.translink.ca/~/media/documents/schedules_and_maps/stn_exch/metrotown.ashx.
