2. Six-bedroom South Vancouver House – $5,500

Zoocasa

While $5,500 can seem like a daunting figure to write down on a rent cheque, this home is affordable if you split it with roommates.

In south Vancouver, this modest home has six bedrooms and four bathrooms across 2,580 square feet.

While it might not be new, it seems clean and well kept. It could be the ideal home for a large family or for a handful of roommates looking to live well while keeping their costs down. It also has spacious bedrooms that you won’t find in a condo.

3. One-bedroom Olympic Village Condo – $3,950

Zoocasa

At nearly $4,000 per month, this is a pricey one-bedroom. It’s penthouse level with extra tall ceilings and 720 square feet of space. And it has air conditioning – which is pretty rare for a Vancouver apartment and even more coveted after the heatwave of 2021.

Zoocasa

You have great views, and lots of light in the unit, plus a patio space and the building has amenities like a gym and a community garden.

4. One-bedroom South Granville Condo – $3,450

The bathroom has a deep soaker tub, and it’s connected to the bedroom via a walk-in closet.

5. One-bedroom Downtown Condo – $1,998

Zoocasa

At just under $2,000 per month, this is the most affordable rental on the list. It has jaw-dropping views of the North Shore mountains and the rest of downtown from its oversized windows.

Zoocasa

This one-bedroom, one-bathroom unit is spaciously spread out across 1,000 square feet. Why does this seem like such a good deal for Vancouver?

According to the listing, you’d be sharing the living room, kitchen, and laundry, with a single professional owner. So, you’d have access to the private bedroom and bathroom only.

We knew it was too good to be true! Always read the fine print in a listing.
