I guess I'll have to pitch in my favorites for places to live. I live in North Vancouver and I absolutely love it. Of course I've grown up there as well but I have now purchased my second property in North Vancouver (I purchased a condo about 2 years ago in the City of North Van and have now purchased a townhouse in the District of North Vancouver). The beauty about North Vancouver is that it is close to downtown (20 min commute) while still being out of highly populated areas. It is right in the the thick of outdoor pursuits with most of the ski hills on the North shore, beaches, world-class mountain biking and hiking trails. I can drive 20 mins to downtown or 10 mins to lose myself in the wilderness. The bridges to downtown can be bad but once you get used to them you know when to use them. (of course if there is an accident on either of them, you will have a long wait to get home).
I did live in North Burnaby for a couple of years and much prefered the North Shore area. Perhaps it was the refinery that was 5 or 6 blocks away or just the feel of being crowded but I didn't much care for the area.
Of cousre my opinions are completely biased but if you want to know more about the North Shore just ask!
Cheers!
Cubby.
