Shutterstock As millennials grow increasingly weary of Vancouver’s high cost of living, many are looking to relocate to one of the city’s surrounding communities. In the hopes of settling somewhere that provides an intersection of urban lifestyle and affordability, people seem to be moving to Surrey in droves. The city is experiencing a boom of roughly 1,000 new inhabitants each month — leading experts to believe that its population will eclipse that of Vancouver’s by 2030. The city is rapidly becoming a cultural hub thanks to its plan for a long-range, city-wide rapid transit grid and emerging educational, health, and tech industries. Consistently rated as one of the most affordable places to live, its multicultural flair, proximity to nature, and expanding downtown area appeals to young urbanites looking to buy their first homes.
