Here are 5 of the cheapest rentals you can find in Vancouver right now (PHOTOS)

It’s that time again, folks! If you’re considering apartment hunting and feeling discouraged by the lack of affordable rentals in Vancouver, we’ve got some options to send your way. Although we talked about many of them in our previous rental lists, they’re still some of the best bang-for-your-buck finds with availability right now. So, without further ado, here are some of the most affordable apartment and condo rentals listed in Vancouver.

142 East 42nd Avenue: $1,400/month

We’re starting off with one of the cheapest rentals we’ve seen in the city in a while (a long while…) – and while it might not offer a ton of legroom inside the studio space (400 square feet), it does come with a shared yard and front patio space for entertaining. Plus, it’s steps away from South Main and a ton of parks nearby. The pet-friendly studio unit is on the basement floor, and all utilities (electric, heat, gas, water, internet) are included.

1644 Nelson Street: $1,640+/month

Next up is a frequent contender for one of the cheapest rentals in the city. Now, this apartment might not come with anything fancy or out of the box, but it’s a solid highrise in one of the most sought-after neighbourhoods in Vancouver. If location and access to food & shopping are your priority – then this is a great option.

With one, two, and three-bedroom options, Twenty-Two Terrace offers a variety of options for residents of the Renfrew Heights community. There’s also 1,000 square feet of indoor amenity space next to a rooftop terrace, which adds a great social lounge/ co-working space for those who want to venture out of their cozy units. Oh, and there’s a grocery store and bakery on the main floor, so you won’t even have to leave the building for food!

990 Broughton Street: $1,780+/month

This find is situated near the shops and eats on Robson Street – so it’s pretty safe to say that you won’t run out of things to do (or eat) nearby. Just minutes from the beach, Ocean Park Place is the perfect place to call home if you spend a lot of time in the West End as it is, or if you’re wanting to live somewhere where you can take a leisurely stroll through Stanley Park at the drop of a hat. Plus, rent includes heat and water!

935 Marine Drive $1,850+/month

Located in West Van just a stone’s throw away from the Lions Gate Bridge and Park Royal Mall, this property boasts an outdoor pool, fitness centre, and waterfront views from most of its units. All units feature wood flooring and new appliances, and rent includes water.

And that’s all for now, Vancouver! Happy apartment hunting.
