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.

This 500-square-foot basement suite is well below Vancouver’s monthly average, and is located in a quiet neighbourhood, perfect for students and individuals looking to slow things down. If you’re looking for a solid place to stay for a minimum of one year, this is a great option.
3565 McGill Street – $2,000 per month
This rental is also a basement suite, but it gets plenty of natural light to suggest otherwise. The house is well-maintained and the newly renovated suite comes fully furnished, with a spacious kitchen and bedroom, and private laundry services.

349 East 7th Avenue – $2,000 per month
Situated right next to Dude Chilling Park, this Mount pleasant unit offers close access to Main Street amenities, transit, and parks. The building has its own laundry services and bike room to offer residents.
2222 Bellevue Avenue – $2,099+ per 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.

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.
