i might be down for this, but i couldnt do some 45 minutes from downtown place.
you gotta be where the action is, and driving for 1.5 hrs everyday would suck.

look at some houses on s.granville st, kits, and bigass penthouses downtown.

probably be a better bet.

I understand where you're coming from but you can't really get a HOUSE downtown. I'd much rather get a ballin mansion 30 - 40 mins away from downtown than a 600 square feet apartment right in the heart of vancouver. Great thing about vancouver is that there's action everywhere.

Maybe compared to Victoria, but compared to most cities in the world Vancouver is very tame and laid back. For a group of guys in their early 20's you would be crazy to not live in the downtown core. Proximity to young beautiful women should trump your desire for showing cool pictures of your house to 2+2.

I'm one of those dinosaurs but if you are going to do this get a 5 bedroom penthouse apartment in yaletown or even better make it 3 or 4 people - 5 is a bit much for an apartment no matter how huge it is. Having a ridiculous penthouse and EVERYTHING within a 5 minute drunken walk > west van mansion.
