What I think about Creston, BC 3 rating By Anonymous ( Aug 08, 2022) Hey,

Creston, bc is for retired people but on the other hand it isn't. The Hostipal is a joke, if you have a problem that is bigger than a couple stiches, they will send you to Cranbrook. This town is so small and the only stores it has are on the main highway, the stores are li ...Read More ttle stop off points. If you want to go shopping forget this place. There are tons of trees but if you want to go into the woods you will have to do a massive hike straight into and up the mountain to get to the top where you might find a flatter area. Creston, bc does have parks and walks that are flat but they are "government" run so you will not be able to just enjoy the woods. The schools for example aren't clean on the outside, I have no clue about the inside but on the outside, they are very dirty. When I first moved here the crime wasn't very bad and there wasn't much graffiti but now it is bad here. I would not go out at night without a weapon and a group of people with me. There is now graffiti everywhere as well now.

If you don't care about the above then this is a great place, with lots of trees, birds, people, bike trails, and more!

I may add more to this review of Creston, bc later but this will do for now. Please think about the pros and cons of Creston, bc before moving here. Read Less
