For the summer, we were given a choice of staying in an apartment or a house. We wanted the full "big city" living experience, something different...so we chose apartment! We already have a house and lawn to take care of back home. Let's go yardless for awhile! Here's Kyra, posing in front of our door:
What they found for us is a two-story apartment in a nice, new building. There is a pool around the corner from us, and the skytrain station is only about three blocks north. Although our immediate neighborhood is lacking some amenities, we are just a few minutes away from some pretty awesome parks and other local attractions.
Although things are more spread out than I was hoping and we do have to drive places sometimes, we are still able to walk or take public transit most of the time. I wish we were closer to downtown Vancouver or near the water, but we're finding that property is VERY expensive up here! Depending on traffic, even the farthest destinations are usually no more than an hour. So we've been exploring quite a few neighboorhoods and parks, look for more posts soon!
