A good city to live in BC

[NewYorker]

Hello BCGuy and all,

Can you please advise on which is a good city to live in BC, which is near to jobs meaning not in the woods and home prices are moderate and low crime as well as good schools.

Including all the above what will be your best bet to settle with family inlcuding kids.

Thanks,

you give so little information to advise you on, much depends on work and how far/long you're willing to travel to get there, and thus what type of work you're in and how much $$$ you have for a house or apartment

of course the vast majority of work opportunities are in Vancouver, so if this is a target for you I would recommend looking out towards Maple Ridge for affordable housing, use google map and www.mls.ca to see if housing is right for you, if too high, or too low then adjust your target either towards the city (more expensive) or away from the city (cheaper)

if you want a nicer environment and your work skills can get you employment anywhere, I'd say look at large towns like Kelowna, Vernon, Kamloops and Nanaimo

all towns have good/bad areas
