I was interested if "more expensive area close to the core" was true, and found this in Sundance:

And this in Thorncliff:

The Thorncliff place is a 13min drive, or 23 minute bike. The Sundance place is a 23 minute drive, or, uh, 1h and 12 min bike. So you can have much better commute times for the same price, if you choose a better community for such things. Spend a bit more and you can get even closer. It's in no way unreasonably priced to live within 5km of downtown. Under 600k gives you hundreds of options in detached houses. What does that get you in Vancouver 5km from downtown? A quick search shows 1.2 million for the first house.
