In Vancouver, Square Footage Isn’t the Only Kind of Space

In most cities, more space means a bigger yard; in Vancouver, it often means a closer mountain view instead.
Buyers weighing a bigger place outside the city are also giving up how close those mountains and the water stay.
Much of Vancouver's housing sits within a short drive of the coastline and the North Shore mountains.
From many downtown streets, those peaks are visible above the rooftops on a clear September day.
Would you trade square footage for that kind of daily view?
