so is North shore a city? I'm looking for a downhill trail to ride during the week. Not a ride on a beach or through a city. And how far is whistler from "North shore"?
okay, whistler is a 2 hour drive (supposedly with its traffic, and speed limits DEAL WITH IT, but usually you can do it in an hour, my dad did it in 40mins) North van is a city, west van is a city (district to be precise), north shore is the combo of north and west van. there are plenty of places to rent, i wont list them all cuz then this would be s tupid long comment. but there are plenty of places under 2 grand
[Quote="Rider656"]My Wife and I are thinking of moving to canada. I would perfer to be no more than thirty minutes from north vancouver. I love Whistler mountain. and would like to be no more than a hour or two away. I love to have a local mountain or trail to ride during the week. Please give me some ideas. Would like to be in a nice area have about 2,000 month for rent. I Like city life as well as mountain life so not to remote of a location. Thanks,
The North Shore is made up of 3 municipalities (2 North Vancouvers and a West Vancouver). Between the Shore and Whistler you get Squamish and Lions Bay. The North Shore is among the most expensive real estate in North America, so you're sorta stuck for a cheap house. I've seen some nice ones for under $800k lately. We didn't get the same real estate crash up this way.
That's it for your criteria. Have a quick look at the map, you'll see. There's just the one road (Hwy 99).
elaborate on the fact that there are 2 north vans? there arent.

No lift access on the Shore yet, but Cypress will eventually. However, there's a few hundred trails on the Shore, half of which are accessed by paved shuttle roads. Lift access is sort of lame in the long run anyway. You get a pretty short season and not as many trails to choose from.
Quote] cypress did have a lift accesed park in the past, but iot was closed due to the olympic renovations, grouse did but couldnt afford insurance. and you will probs end up riding up hills, so a dh bike will not be your friend (aim for an AM bike) however if you have legs you can ride a dh bike up. you have to be careful about the trails cuz there are plenty of illegal trails here.
Kay, North Van consits of, Capilano, Lynn Valley, Londsdale, Deep Cove, Seymour, and wherever the auto mall is (cant remember the name). they are all part of north vancouver. there are not 2 north vans. it simply doesnt make sense. the north shore consists of West van And north van, not north van, west van and north van.

Kid, the world doesn't make sense, but there you go. Lonsdale is in the City of North Vancouver, Deep Cove and Lynn Valley are inthe District. They're two different towns. Sort of like how the CFL used to have two teams named "Roughriders".
ohb, i get what ure getting at now, ok- The north van in red there is like capilano and all that shit. its not only north van, however, capilano and lonsdale are in close proximity to city hall. so i can see it being called the city of north van and all the other areas (lynn valley, deep cove etc....) being "greater north van" if you will, that however does not change the fact that there is only one north van, if we went by that, then dunderave and horseshoe bay would not be part of west van.
you are comparing two different things, its a "falicie" (always wanted to say that outside of philosophy), you choose one. if you choose CNV then you must also list, lynn valley, deep cove etc.... and wikipedia isnt a reliable source
I always thought West Vancouver was the most expensive to buy. Specifically the British Properties.
soo sooo wrong, there are definatley more expensive places per square foot.
But it is Vancouver Island, West Vancouver and Whistler, all situated in British Columbia, that have the highest concentration of expensive homes on our list.
true, but downtown is more expensive per square foot in some buildings. but west van has larger houses
You first said North Van was the most expensive, now your saying Vancouver is??
sorry, did i say that, though i said vancouver, maybe you read sumthing else, but no north van is definatley not, however, i still hold firm that downtown cost more per square foot
