Looking to move? Looking to rent? Canada is jam-packed with wonderful cities and towns to live in, but it’s no secret that some are much more affordable than others. A new report by PadMapper has ranked the most expensive places to rent a 1-bedroom apartment in Canada right now, and it’s got a few surprises!
Speaking of surprises, the top two cities aren’t surprising at all. Honestly, it would be pretty weird to see any city other than Vancouver (ranked #1) and Toronto (ranked #2) at the top of the list.
The December 2020 report has the average price of Vancouver 1-bedroom rental at an astounding $1,950, while Toronto isn’t’ far behind at $1,900. After that, places like Burnaby ($1,670), Victoria ($1,630), and Kelowna ($1,510) round out the top five.

The rest of the top ten are Barrie ($1,500), Oshawa ($1,470), Ottawa ($1,420), Montreal ($1,370), and Kitchener ($1,350).
As for other major Canadian cities like Winnipeg ($1,000), Calgary ($1,100), and Edmonton ($950) they all placed way down the list comparatively.
So, what does all this mean? Considering this is just a report of December 2020, probably not that much. But, if you’re considering a big-city move then it’s nice to know which places you can afford.
