Can you go home again?

[ckkelley]

I'm considering re-locating back to London after 24 years in Vancouver. I have a few questions and I would appreciate any advice you Londoners could offer up for me.

Initially I'd be renting to reacquaint myself with the Forest City but ultimately I'd be buying a house. Most likely a house with an income suite or the potential to add one down the road. Is there any particular neighborhood (aside from student housing) that has high demand for rental housing?

What would you say are the best hiking trails in and around London? Also, what would be the best neighborhood to live (potentially) without wheels? I remember the LTC not being the greatest.

I'd be moving back to be closer to family but also due to much lower housing and cost of living expenses. Additionally, I've had my fill of living in small condos.

Thanks so much for any insight you may have.
