I lived there (just down from octo) for about 5 years. Reasons I moved away:
- Needed bigger house than 650 sp ft.
- Lived next to an apt building owned by a total c you next Tuesday
- Being virtually trapped during rush hours
- Dinks cutting through
- Wife would tell me about the bums taking a dump in the bushes while on walks with the kids
- Bum broke in house and stole the dog
- Thought the Bow was going to overflow that one spring, wasn't fun.
- House was over 100 years old

Liked it because:
- House value did nothing but go up
- Walk to work in 20 mins, would have been much shorter if the Peace bridge was there.
- Walk to the grocery stores/restaurants/etc.
- That weird Chinese lady who owns the convenience store who has terrible English but doesn't know it.
- Great off leash area to take the dog.
Speaking of which, the two little houses next to your old place are up for sale! You can knock them both down, put in a suburb-sized house with bum-proof fencing, and move back into the neighbourhood.
