I grew up in pomo, it's the best all around. Poco is good too and cheaper. I lived in North van for a year and a half. It was OK but the bridges suck. West van is shit and 7/11 is closed from 12pm to 6am. I'm in Coquitlam now, mallardvilla area, very central, but lots of crack heads and weirdos.
Ha I rented in a few places in Maillardville, weirdos and crackheads a plenty, theyve been getting better at knocking down crackshacks though.
My wife and I bought in PoCo last year. Schools for kids, a ridiculous amount of bars both north and south side, prices are blowing up however with the huge development of burke (le sigh) and the skytrain being a walk or short bike away. older homes are going on average just shy of $600,000. Good luck getting a reasonably priced Port Moody house, although it is a good time to grab a coffee and people watch the NewPort yuppies pretend like they live downtown.
yeah bro!!
