Mission offers a blend of small-town charm with the conveniences of urban living, being only an hour's drive from Vancouver.
The neighbourhoods in Mission vary from suburban residential areas with family homes, gardens, and parks to more rural areas with larger properties, some even with farm holdings. Mission's historic downtown, meanwhile, offers a mix of heritage homes and modern developments.
Mission has seen growth over the years, and with that has come new housing
developments, especially near the more urban parts. These newer areas often feature modern family homes with easy access to schools and amenities.
Given its proximity to larger urban centers, some residents commute to work in cities like Vancouver, especially with the convenience of the West Coast Express. However, many also work locally in sectors such as agriculture, retail, education, healthcare, and small businesses. The district has its own school system, health facilities, and a range of businesses, providing employment for many locals.
The pace of life in Mission is generally more relaxed than in bigger cities. Residents value their community ties, with many involved in local organizations, sports clubs, and volunteer groups. A typical day for a Mission resident might start with a coffee from a local cafe, followed by work, either in town or in a neighbouring city. Evenings could be spent attending a community event, dining out, or simply taking a stroll by the Fraser River. Weekends might involve a visit to the farmers market, a hike, or a day trip to nearby attractions.
