So if you’re looking for a new space to call home, here are 6 of the most affordable rentals you can find in Vancouver right now.

3565 McGill Street – $2,000 per month

This rental is also a basement suite, but it gets plenty of natural light to suggest otherwise.

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.
