I don't think I need to say much about how expensive rent is in Vancouver because the entire city (and the entire country) is well, well aware of that fact. Living in the beautiful city comes at a (great) cost. For the past while, Vancouver has had one of the highest housing markets not only in Canada, but also across the globe. In 2017, Vancouver is the third most expensive in the entire world to live in, ranking only behind Hong Kong and Sydney. If you thought 2016 was already an expensive year for housing, well 2017 had it beat — according to Business Insider, in one year only, the cost of housing in Vancouver increased significantly yet again. In the Greater Vancouver area, depending on the season and such, a $1000 budget can currently in 2017 get you maybe a 2 bedroom suite or you might end up with a small bedroom in a shared apartment. We’ll show you exactly what type of rental you can get with a $1000 in Vancouver right now. Curious to see how rent can compare from neighbourhood to neighbourhood? See how your hood currently compares to all the others with around $1000 for rent. Please note: the rentals and prices we included are the ones available and prices listed at the time of writing. Their prices may fluctuate based on season and demand and the listings may be taken off at any time.
