Vancouver is one of the world's most beautiful and desirable cities to live in the world.  There are many unbelievable condos and penthouses available as well as  gorgeous detached homes with lush landscapes and ocean views.  The best thing about Vancouver is that pretty much anywhere you are, you have a killer view.  Many out of town investors purchase vacation properties and rental properties here.  "Greater Vancouver is recognized internationally as one of the planet's best places to live  with its clean environment, varied housing, safe streets and excellent public services, the region is also a world leader in urban management."  (Harcourt & Cameron, City Making In Paradise Vancouver:2007)
