I made a decision over 16 years ago to move to the Okanagan Valley in B.C. I will always recommend to anyone that wants to move to seriously consider this area of the world. I love it! The weather, the activities, the lakes, the golf...what isn't there to love about this place.
If you want some information on this beautiful region please check out --.

we love the okanagan too, have visited there many times, but chose to live on vancouver island, because
there is 'no' ocean in the okanagan. We were born close to the ocean, and will never live far from it.
skiing, golf, fishing, mountain biking, hiking, and great weather.(comox valley).
very moderate temperatures year round, a little snow some winters, some rain, but
not too much, that is more to the north island, or by the mountains, closer to the
ocean, less rain, but we welcome enough rain to keep our green island always green.

We will need a house as I think our family is a bit big for an apartment, plus used to having our own bit of space. Upon arrival we will be looking to rent a house for a while, at least until we feel settled and have a better idea of the place. Problem is we are not sure where to start looking.

In Aus, the real estate agents also manage rental properties and you can get plenty of info from them but it appears that in Canada its usually handled privately by the owners on an individual basis.

I guess I am looking for suggestions of good places to settle with a young family wher we can rent something around $1,000 - $1,400 per month, probably 4 bedrooms etc..

Any ideas would be welcome!

Cheers,
Kev.

I looked back at the date for the OP - we are all responding to someone who wrote and asked that question in August of the year 2006!!! I wonder if they ever made it to BC!!!!

Not only that but the thread seems to have been resurrected by a spammer! That's too funny.

heh heh, even moreso since I just posted Cosmo's sig on my fb page:

In a perfect world... spammers would get caught, go to jail, and share a cell with many men who have enlarged their penises, taken Viagra and are looking for a new relationship.

not sure why it's in purple though

unless he's the spammer!

I was wondering about that though. Does everyone get those aforementioned types of spam, or is it just the direly in need porn addicts?

I suspect it's just us porn surfers.

:?P

and I bet it only takes one misclick to brand you; like bee hormone it attracts the whole hive!

:?D

It took a bit to see what you meant because I read "that" thread last night and at that time it seemed to fit in so well. Things are not going well in the Okanagan Valley right now. I have lots of family there and they all say that they would not put their house on the market right now because things are down by far in the housing market. My son is in bldg. and he said (about 2 weeks ago) that not a single house in Vernon has been sold in the past 4 months. That's not to say there have not been private sales (I think). I assume it's a realtors report. He doesn't live there but the company he works for is doing some bldg. there.
I guess someone is trying to promote the Okanagan. Have to give them A for effort.
