I agree with you re Vancouver, and I think West Vancouver has probably the best location of any suburb in the U.S. or Canada. There are very few in the U.S. that are even in the same stratosphere as West Vancouver that also have some sort of outstanding physical beauty and modern intrusion that is not obnoxious....a few Seattle suburbs (The Highlands, Medina, Yarrow Point, etc).....Belvedere and Tiburon (both near San Francisco)....La Jolla (near San Diego)...Lake Oswego (near Portland)....Alpine,NJ (near NYC)....and some of the smallest towns right on the ocean between Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale in Florida. One thing that puts West Vancouver permanently above these towns (IMHO, for my taste) is having Grouse Mountain in the metro for snow skiing.....so close!
