Imagine you live in Vancouver. You’ve loved being a renter in the city, but now you are ready to buy a house, and the prices downtown are impossible.
You decide to move east, into the Fraser Valley, still an easy drive from the city you love, but with much more affordable real estate. You’ve driven past Abbotsford on the freeway a few times, and remember the picturesque vineyards to the west, and the corn fields to the east. Even the town’s slogan, “The City in the Country,” sounds delightfully quaint. So you make the move, and buy a house with a big yard out in the farmland. It should be like a modern day Little House on the Prairie, but with better amenities, right? Wrong.
