Maybe you’ve been looking for that perfect property to make your home. Or maybe you just like reading these articles and dreaming about what could one day be. Or maybe, just maybe, you’re just straight-up curious. Either way, we’ve teamed up with our pal Ben D’Ovidio Real Estate to finally solve the age-old question: What can you get for less than $1M in Vancouver?
But first, let’s introduce Ben D’Ovidio. We’re just going to hit you with the facts right away. Whether you’re buying or selling, Ben is your guy. Not only is he in the top 1% of the Greater Vancouver Real Estate Board, but Ben is also a born-and-raised Vancouverite who has a serious passion for sharing the city’s incredible qualities with his clients.
However, what stands out the most with Ben is that he always puts customer service first, similar to how he is with family. Being raised by a single mother, Ben was committed to being able to provide for not only himself but for others as he gained success. Along with being a top realtor, Ben remains a family man first.
He paid for his mother’s retirement, has adopted a lovely son, and even supports the SPCA. Plus, he’s dynamite at the real estate game. Honestly, what more could you want in a Realtor?
So, let’s get to the list, shall we?
$999K – $800K
NEW COLLINGWOOD BUILD
Starting off the list with this Collingwood heavy hitter. Coming in at 998K, this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom development is only 3 years old. Steps away from Norquay park and in a quiet but accessible neighbourhood, so if you’re looking for family-friendly in a great neighbourhood, this might be for you!
EAST VAN TOWNHOUSE
We always love a good Heritage building moment, especially when it’s home to a townhouse that’s this gorgeous. This 3-bedroom, 2-bedroom unit comes in at $975K. The biggest selling point for us? Gotta be the rooftop patio. Seriously though, who lives in Vancouver to spend less time outside?
$799K – $500K
DOWNTOWN LIVING
If you’re looking for a great location, top-notch amenities, and a modern interior, go no further than this Georgia Street gem. Amenities like a pool, hot tub/jacuzzi, concierge make this building a full living experience and the floor-to-ceiling wrap-around windows will get you all the natural light you (and your Instagram feed) need.
MOUNT PLEASANT
In the heart of Mt. Pleasant, this open concept apartment features in-suite laundry, quartz countertops, a closed private balcony, and our favourite feature: heated bathroom floors. Not to mention the building amenities are on point, with a meeting room, dog wash, community garden, lounge with kitchen, dog run space, and more. Considering that you can get all of this for an amazing value and at this location, it’s pretty hard to beat.
WATERFRONT LIVING ON SOUTH MARINE
Just steps away from Riverfront Park, Fraser River, and Fraserview Golf Course, this South Marine townhouse is ideal for anyone who loves to be active outdoors. This 2-level unit has 2-bedrooms, 2-bathrooms, and 2 parking spots available. You’ll find upgrades throughout the townhouse, and a spacious covered patio- perfect for when we can finally entertain guests again!

WEST MARPOLE GEM
This Hudson Mews end unit is bright and sunny, perfectly complimenting the huge South facing patio. This 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit might be on the smaller size, but it sure is mighty. With a great layout, a ton of storage, and an accessible location, this West Marpole gem is perfect for first-time buyers.
CROSSTOWN & CHINATOWN LIVING
For only the hippest of buyers, this 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment is located in the stylish Ginger building. With hardwood floors, a ton of natural light, and premium accents throughout the apartment, this unit is a great first home. Combined with the great location and the covered balcony/terrace, this modern home is a serious steal.
ARBUTUS VILLAGE APARTMENT
For those home buyers looking for great value, go no further than this Arbutus Village apartment. With large windows and an open galley kitchen, this 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit is perfectly bright and airy.
