Tips for finding apartments in Vancouver, BC

Vancouver is, at its core, a sea town. Covered with beaches, rivers, and mountains, this city is a nature lover’s paradise.

Traveling from the shores of English Bay Beach to the base of Grouse Mountain only takes 20 minutes by car. Stanley Park, an area of pure green bliss surrounded by water, is a hiker’s dream where you can get lost in the wilderness and, at the end of your journey, find yourself strolling alongside the placid waters of English Bay or Vancouver Harbour. Get down with the craft beer movement, because you’ll find some incredible breweries here. Embrace your inner hipster and sip coffee at a local shop and art gallery combo, or relax and watch the sunset over Kitsilano Beach. Enjoy the funky sphere of Science World, see some world class art at the Vancouver Art Gallery, take a yoga class in your Lululemons. Hang out in historical Gastown, chill out in the artsy vibe of East Van, see the sights on the West Side. Whatever part of Vancouver you fall in love with, it’s waiting for you.
