PadMapper's March 2021 rent report shows that it costs $1,900 per month to rent a one-bedroom apartment in Vancouver. 

The same size of place costs $1,660 in Burnaby, $1,600 in Victoria, and $1,480 in Kelowna.

Meanwhile, one-bedrooms are going for $1,100 in Calgary and only $930 in Edmonton. So, see you in Alberta?
