Housing is way more affordable in Calgary and they get more benefits from their provincial government.  I don't know about comparing them jobwise but Vancouver is beautiful, has great weather, is very multicultural in the bigger cities and is great for raising kids.  There is a fantastic outdoor lifestyle that cannot be found anywhere else in Canada.  Visit both then make up your mind.

Cost of Living Index (U.S. average = 100)    91.85\n3-Bedroom House Price (U.S. $) $156,400\n2-Bedroom Apartment Rent (U.S. $) $745\nProperty Tax Rate 1.32%\nSales Tax (state and local) 7.0%\nCrime Index is 177 \n\n\nThe Historic "West End" and "Ardmore" areas are nice places to live. I think you would fit in, but I also think Greensboro, NC (less than 30 min. away) might be a good (if not better) fit for you.  It is a family type place to live.  Winston Salem also has a lot of churches and a Moravian background, but I don't think you'd have a problem living in Winston even if you are not religious.

Three family homes in my area go for 350k-450k on average.  (350k or 450k / 3 Apts)*1% = $1167 or $1500/mo\n\nSo in my area (north of Boston), I would say your formula fits.  But housing in MA is fairly expensive.  This rate may be too high for other areas were the cost of living is significantly lower.\n\nAs a rule of thumb this could be a good 'guesstimate' of what ball park you should be in; but you should adjust this for neighborhood area, quality of space, cost of living, and other factors.

In my area of the country (Northwest USA) it seems to follow this pattern:\nRich--$1 million and above\nUpper middle class--$250,000 to 1 million\nMiddle Class--$100,000 to 250,000\nLower Middle Class--$50,000 to 100,000\nPoor--Under $50,000 or Apartment.\n\nI know the spectrum is a little different depending on relative population of different areas of the country, but right now with the housing market as it is, this is about where house values are in relation to status.

We have several of these in the Bay Area.  They range from very small, moderate prices to high end.  I'm married and trying to start a family, so this would not appeal to me.  However, if I were single, I would be very interested in the high end type.  The one around here has apartments for rent and condos for sale.  The shopping center has mostly high end shops (Tommy Bahama, Furla, Diesel, etc.), restaurants, bars, a hotel, and a movie theater.  I would expect this type of community to appeal to single, professionals with fairly high income.

Yes I heard San Fran is insane. I am from Long Island, and the average house price is about the same as that. I think that upstate NY is beautiful and reasonable...Saratoga Springs is to die for and the average 4 bedroom 2.5 bath is around 200k....the town is booming! If you are looking to move to the east coast...its definately somthing to consider.

One of the investors I work with may have a home or two in Naperville (or surrounding suburbs).  Would need a bit more information on what you're looking for in terms of home size and $$$

I don't know about finding them or anything, but the best hotels in Vancouver are probably The Four Seasons or the Fairmont Vancouver.

Not even close.  I know the market there, so I can easily assume that at that price it is a pretty small condo and probably not in the absolute best neighborhood.  I lived in San Diego my entire life and never thought I would leave.  The excessive cost of houseing there has made me rethink that and since I moved to the central valley 1 1/2 years ago I have learned I will never go back.  That place is just not worth the money they want for it.

I've had personal experience with Archstone apartments and Summit (just bought by Camden) apartments in the past two years. While neither one is stellar, both were acceptable. Both of these were in the Northern Virginia area - bedroom communities for D.C. \n\nBest of luck apartment hunting! The housing market around here is absolutely insane.
