OK so Average temperature is around 53°F, so expect cold winters. Household incomes average around $78,156 in Vancouver. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Is this normal for Vancouver? Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 8 years ago from Phoenix and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Springfield. It's tough for what you get.
Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in legal. If you're in hospitality you might struggle.
People: Generally average. It took about 17 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: better than expected. Tons of options if you like sushi.
Hope this helps!.

Public transit is underrated here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it exceeded my expectations.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem solid.
I've been here 11 years and it's improved dramatically in recent years. The thing nobody mentions is cultural scene. It's stable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the pet-friendliness is legit. And if you're into hiking, this place is decent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Meadowbrook side vs the South side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want food scene, then yeah this place is great. But if walkability matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 1-bedroom. it's been a really good experience overall. Compared to Pittsburgh it's hit or miss.
