Personally, I would live west of your work in the Langley / Iver sort of
area. People on this list will tell you it's horrible. Go look for
yourself and make your own mind up. Just remember that, from my front
door it is 400 yds to open countryside.  

I used to live here:

and went to school here:

So I *am* biased.
