Commuting Times to Downtown Vancouver From the Suburbs
With the decline in the affordability of real estate in Vancouver itself more and more people have been been moving further and further away from their jobs. Now I live in work within no more than a 30 minute drive of anywhere I need to be, but many, if not most, do not.
When considering a move further from work be sure to consider the true costs of your commute in terms of gas, wear and tear on your vehicle, and the great intangible, your quality of life and time with your family. I have come up with a little list of commuting times from Downtown Vancouver to the suburbs.
I don't make these commutes so if you have some more insight please leave it below in the comments.
West Vancouver or North Vancouver: Downtown: 30-45 mins
