about what it's like to live here in
chilliwack
so what i'm gonna do is talk about five
topics
i'm going to talk about the pros and the
cons the love and the hate
of those five topics number one the one
thing i love about chilliwack
is that there are endless activities to
do so you will never get bored here
we take the kids exploring all the
neighborhoods in the different parts of
town
there's just so much to do here you'll
never run out of stuff to do
if you like doing anything outdoors this
is the place for it
there are hundreds of kilometers of
forest roads
trails for hiking mountain biking atving
snowmobiling or even if you just like
going for a quick bike ride along the
river
but the other side of that is the con
people say that it can stink like manure
from early spring
until fall in the farmlands from all the
dairy farms and corn fields
not every day but often enough that
people have complained about it
number two for the most part
there is no traffic to deal with but
sometimes in the summer you can get a
slow day heading down vetter road
with all the tourists going to cultus
lake
but in general there is no rush hour
here
but the other side of that is the con
the thing i don't like about it is the
traffic
leaving chilliwack if there's an
accident on the highway
you're basically stuck here you can
expect that at least
every couple months there will be a
major event
on the highway one now i've really
learned how to avoid a lot of the
traffic
there's different times where i take
different streets
and avoid some areas altogether but
if you take the back roads and try to
avoid the main streets
at certain times of day you're going to
be just fine here
but yes there is quite a bit of traffic
leaving
and entering chilliwack number three
it is so beautiful here it is green for
days
there's mountains there's rivers lakes
basically anywhere you go it's going to
be very green
now i really like that and like i said
it provides a lot of cool mountain
and hiking trails but why is it so
green because of the con
it rains a ton here it's not like a
torrential downpour
every day in the fall and early spring
but yeah it does rain
quite a lot here number four
okay i love good food and good beer
there are many nice brewery and
restaurant options for you to choose
from
to have a great lunch or dinner but
here is the con to living in chilliwack
there is
not a huge amount of nightlife but
luckily downtown vancouver is only one
to one and a half hour drive
number five cheaper housing
houses are much cheaper on average than
other areas of the lower mainland in
vancouver
lots of people with children and plenty
of children activities
as i mentioned before less traffic than
other cities closer to vancouver
but here's the con longer commute to
downtown
and the transit system is not the
greatest to commute to downtown
vancouver
