6 Places Near Vancouver Where Condos Are Selling Much Cheaper Than Downtown Prices
Live the Vancouver life, without the steep price!
High rise condo building. Right: Condo buildings in Vancouver.
Vancouver, B.C, is well known for its super high housing prices, which make it tough to find a place to live.
Being a homeowner is like a faraway dream for people in the city — so it might be time to reconsider downtown life. Buying a condo a bit outside of the city can save you some serious money, but you'll still be close to the hustle and bustle.
Some of these places actually even look more appealing and charming than Vancouver.
Currently, the average condo in Vancouver costs a hefty $1 million, according to Zolo.
If you're not ready to dish out that kind of cash, take a look at these charming cities nearby.
