East Hastings is prob the worst looking neighborhood.
You got junkies and homeless folks all over the street but hardly any violence.

There is a really good deli on East Hastings by Carrall and Columbia.
Also a amazing Malaysian curry place by Cordova.

So after our visit last Oct, me and my girlfriend decided on moving to Vancouver for a year. We move out there next Sunday, We are staying out in Surrey for a month, but then we are going to have to find a place to live and work and I was wondering if you guys could recommend any decent areas to go apartment hunting? we have been looking around the interwebs at them but because we don't know any of the areas especially well I thought someone might be able to give us a few ideas?

where are you planning to work? downtown?
what's your budget?
- brandelec0
if you want to be downtown but away from yuppies... west end is great. you have the beach, park and a nice walk to the downtown core.
if you want to live across the bridge, check out kitsilano, jericho
- Went to a party at Grey Pt love the house along the shore.sebastianfrench

Lots of cliquey neighbourhoods in Vancouver. Please provide details about yourself (food, music, fit of jeans) and we will place you accordingly.

dear lord, don't stay in surrey.
Main Street & Broadway is a great area.
Cambie & Broadway is another fantastic neighborhood.
While Commercial Drive may have some appeal, it's been getting shadier and shadier every year.

Have not got a job sorted yet but I have been contacting agencies, we have been looking into Kitsilano & main Street area, our budget is about $1200, jobs permitting

I guess anything near or on Broadway from Main Street heading West is good.
If you can find a place that's with in walking distance to the beach.
