I love the nature in North surrey, invergarry park is amazing, and I genuinely don't think I'll be able to beat having a gorgeous forest for a backyard. My neighbors are amazing, there's two schools very close by if someone had kids, and the price isn't bad either... All that…

City
Population: 22,468
I resided in White Rock for ten years, departing in 2018. I was fortunate enough to arrive before the development-mad mayor Wayne Baldwin arrived on the scene, who chose to strip mine away all semblances of White Rock's quaint and quiet charm. Prior to his arrival, White Rock…
