I think if i had the choice the west coast would be high on my list , but property prices seem to have gone nuts in the last 12 monmths or so that ive been looking, although if there are any areas close ish to the city i would consider them.It seems to be the same for calgary , but again city centre for me is not a requirement. What we really need are recommendations of certain good areas , so we can at least begin to search for house prices knowing the areas are ok.The problem is,i know , that the country is so huge, where do you start its a bit scary.Again , thanks for all the replies
