It’s that time of the month again, Vancouver. Renting in the city is a total nightmare, with the average rent for a one-bedroom sitting at $2,596 per month, according to Rentals.ca. However, there are several key neighbourhoods worth noting when starting your search.

What’s more, there are a handful of rentals scattered across Vancouver that are priced below the monthly average. And while that is certainly a hard number to work with (to say the least), we thought we’d go ahead and share some of the cheapest options out there.

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.
