Village Vancouver

Vancouver's Leader in Transition toward Strong, Resilient, Complete Communities

I am moving to Vancouver this summer with my 3 kids and 2 dogs for a complete career and lifestyle change.  I have been a 15 year entrepreneur in Calgary and now moving back to my native BC and I cannot wait!

I am hoping to find a rental property with 1-3 acres where I can have my raised garden beds, and 3-4 chickens, a few rabbits (as pets and mini composters!) and lots of green spaces and trees!

I am hoping to rent to begin with in order to find my feet in a new city and learn the ins and outs of the different neighborhoods, then looking to buy my own little piece of the planet..

What areas should I be looking at if I still need to be close to transit for teens, no more than 10 minute ambulance response time for child with serious medical condition, and 15-20 minute drive to a hospital?  But still feel like I am away from the city?

I LOVE the Dunbar/Southlands area but doubt many rentals come up in that vicinity, but if anybody hears of anything, please let me know!

Many thanks!

1-3 acres in Vancouver is a pretty tall order!

Maybe Richmond or the Valley?

Sunshine coast?

I am still  learning the names of the neighborhoods!  Yes an acreage IN Vancouver appears to be a bit much! 

I would love an acre in Dunbar/Southlands area but that is proving difficult as well!  Looking at Delta, Aldergorve but that is getting a bit too far away.....

Still looking though!

Thx for posting!

You might have some luck finding a place that rents and the landlord is not using the yard, but they probably will love their lawn (; 
Perhaps post a request Craigslist. Best of luck!

Any luck, Leah?

Transportation

If you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around.

5 discussions

Housing

A human right? After food, most feel shelter is the most important necessity. A place of shelter is also the start of a community. This category is for all things relating to shelter, housing, affordable housing, homes, renewable heating systems, green buildings, heritage, and our built environment in general.
