North Delta, Canada

This largely middle-class commuter town is no picnic. With a population of 60,769, North Delta is the most populous of the three communities that make up the City of Delta. The area boasts numerous parks and recreational opportunities, but a persistent bureaucracy and endless grid of streets are a headache for residents. Alongside the green spaces lies Burns Bog, the largest raised urban peat bog in North America - a quirky geographic feature that adds character, but also complexity. Overall, North Delta seems best suited for families seeking an affordable suburban lifestyle within reach of Vancouver.
