Looking to move to New west

Hello good people!

I’ve recently moved back to BC and planning to find a place in New west since i love the Quay area and the Queens park.

I used to live in Metrotown 5 years ago and used to frequent New west, so remember New west more fondly during the pre covid times. I’ve heard a few horror stories post covid though so looking for some recommendations.

We are a couple (mid 30s, no kids) work in Richmond and Vancouver DT, so looking for a place which close to the highway and public transit.

Which areas would be recommended to find a suitable rental?
