I was living in Richmond for 11 years but i moved back to hk for 8 years. Now i want to move back to Canada because i have a 1 years old kid. Is north van a good place for kid? I don't consider Richmond anymore because there is too much china man and i know it is not the richmond that i know anymore.

Is there any chinese market nearby?

North Vancouver is not ideal for people who just landed in Canada - aka new immigrants.

You would better settle in Vancouver or Richmond.

Hi, actually i am not new immigrants because i have been living in richmond for 11 years before i come back to hk for work(8years).

If you don't want to stay with the people from Mainland China then you better stay away form Richmond or Vancouver. The apartment we are living is a lot worst compare to 5~6 years ago. :(

there're definitely not as many asians in n van. but it's a longer commute as well if you like going to richmond or vancouver. maybe consider north delta. i grew up there during high school

North Vancouver is still okay, not too many people from mainland live here. There are tons of rich people from mainland living in West Vancouver tho.

Every Chinese who live in N Vancouver has already get used to driving, so we drive to Vancouver all the time to eat and shop. I live pretty close to the bridge, so it only takes me like 12 mins from home to get to the closest T&T in Vancouver (on 1st Avenue).

And there is actually a T&T in West Vancouver now (Branded as Osaka instead).

The price for house in N Van is reasonable, as rich mainland people only look at West Vancouver. Average house price is around $700k. Townhouse is about $400 - 500k. You can find some cheap apartment for under $300k.

it depends on which part of North Vancouver you live, and where you go. As I stated in my previous post, it only takes me 12 mins to go to the closest T&T in Vancouver. It also only takes me similar of time to eat chinese food on Hastings. And my company has an office in Delta and my experience is North Van's commute is way better than Delta or Richmond.

The bridges in N Van is not as congest as Knight bridge, Oak bridge or Messy Tunnel.

You wont need to know how to speak English if you live in Richmond.
It is better if you move to north vancouver or other places if you want to learn English.

T&T is pretty much everywhere in Vancouver.

作者: yoyourfather 時間: 2012-12-19 09:03 AM

thx ching for all the useful information.
Good to hear that T&T is so close to north van, I think i will take a look at it next year when i come back.

作者: shuikeon333 時間: 2012-12-21 03:41 PM

Good area, but a little far from the rest of the activities unless you like outdoor activities such as hiking. Also, I found traffic always bad when going thru the bridges to North Van.

作者: luminicious 時間: 2012-12-21 06:15 PM

I think N.Van is a nice place to stay! Great community~

相當好.
空氣好.
風景好.
就是房價高.
不過相對的將來賣價也高.
我有裝修過一些住在那的人.閒聊時得知普通房價都在150萬加幣以上.若是年分較新的話.那更是天價.
唯一美中不足的就是交通不方便.出入一定要自己開車.

作者: yoyourfather 時間: 2013-8-7 12:16 AM

I think i will consider van east because the price of the properties

作者: kellychan2046 時間: 2014-5-10 05:30 AM

if you wanna taste the real canadian culture, you should stay away from richmond, vancouver, burnaby, or even coquitlam. try white rock or abbortsford

作者: billy969 時間: 2015-8-11 11:41 AM

What is real Canadian Culture? You can find real Canadian culture everywhere.

all the slope and hill in N.Van will make winter driving a mess ~~~ don't do it my friend

作者: pchyeung 時間: 2016-10-29 12:40 AM

You have to be mindful that it rains quite a lot during winter time and the sunset is at ~4pm.

How much is a 1300 sf bungalow in North vancouver? i currently lives in Winnipeg now, want to make a move. but saw how much the house there. Scare to move there and can't find a job.

作者: blk_hawk 時間: 2017-7-28 07:35 AM

to be honest ... it all depends on what you want..

if you need oriental stuff (ie grocery) ..then N.Van might not be the best location
