It’s well-established that housing in Vancouver ain’t cheap – especially rentals. In fact, the average rent in the region has rebounded from December’s temporary “dip” to $2,257 per month, which is up $30 from last month. While affordable options are scarce, to say the least, these properties listed on Rentals.ca clock in at the average rent or below. So if you’re in the market for a new space to call home, here are some listings to consider.
1255 Pendrell Street: $2,199+/month
The Connaught Apartments on Pendrell Street are situated in one of Vancouver’s most popular neighbourhoods of West End. The building is low-rise and quiet, and includes an indoor pool, sundeck, and common area for all tenants to enjoy. Steps away are Sunset Beach and English Bay, as well as recreation facilities like the Aquatic Centre, food and retail on Denman Street, and plenty of parks and schools.
Oh, and new residents who sign a 13-month lease can get one month of rent for free!
2222 Bellevue Avenue: $2,149+/month
Located in West Van, the Villa Maris sits directly on the ocean above the sea wall on Bellevue Avenue. So if views are important to you, it doesn’t get much better than this. Fun fact: the luxury concrete high-rise is considered the second most important architectural landmark in West Vancouver, after Lions Gate Bridge. And as far as amenities go, the building features both an indoor and outdoor heated pool, a fitness room, a party/meeting room, and balconies on every suite.
New renters can take advantage of their two months of free rent promo when they sign a 14-month lease.
