Vancouver's Leader in Transition toward Strong, Resilient, Complete Communities

Rental Properties??

I am moving to Vancouver this summer with my 3 kids and 2 dogs for a complete career and lifestyle change. I have been a 15 year entrepreneur in Calgary and now moving back to my native BC and I cannot wait!

I am hoping to find a rental property with 1-3 acres where I can have my raised garden beds, and 3-4 chickens, a few rabbits (as pets and mini composters!) and lots of green spaces and trees!

I am hoping to rent to begin with in order to find my feet in a new city and learn the ins and outs of the different neighborhoods, then looking to buy my own little piece of the planet..

What areas should I be looking at if I still need to be close to transit for teens, no more than 10 minute ambulance response time for child with serious medical condition, and 15-20 minute drive to a hospital? But still feel like I am away from the city?

I LOVE the Dunbar/Southlands area but doubt many rentals come up in that vicinity, but if anybody hears of anything, please let me know!

Many thanks!

1-3 acres in Vancouver is a pretty tall order!

Maybe Richmond or the Valley?

Sunshine coast?

I am still learning the names of the neighborhoods! Yes an acreage IN Vancouver appears to be a bit much!

I would love an acre in Dunbar/Southlands area but that is proving difficult as well! Looking at Delta, Aldergorve but that is getting a bit too far away.....

Still looking though!

Thx for posting!

You might have some luck finding a place that rents and the landlord is not using the yard, but they probably will love their lawn (;
Perhaps post a request Craigslist. Best of luck!
