Prophetone - It could very well be lovely, but I lived there when I was 20 on a grimey street and it was just shit all around. Boring & crime-ridden. But I'm sure there are nice parts.

I've lived in the following places:
New West: Terrible.
Burnaby: A depressing suburb.
Point Grey: A bit remote if you don't have a car, but quiet and serene while not being too far from amenities.
West End: Very nice, relaxed, close to everything, lots of affordable apartments, close to the beaches.
Railtown: Loved it, great if you going for drinks on the reg and don't need to be too close to a supermarket.
Robson: My favourite, a walkable distance from everything so you barely have to even use transit.

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.

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

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.

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

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

Plenty wannabe artists, designers etcwe stayed at Shangri La and Opus

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?

go for a sunny stroll around the stanley park seawall, grab a 3k calorie burger at vera's (at denman 'n davie) and enjoy it on a park bench whilst watching the wind and orcas putting on a good show for you with the oceans.

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