Finding a new place to live can be both an exciting and exhausting experience. The places you love might cost too much, and the more affordable ones could not be up to your standards. However, St. John's apartment rentals seem to actually satisfy both criteria.
Newfoundland's capital city actually has plenty of great places to live, and the prices make them even more desirable.
St. John's was recently found to have the cheapest apartment rentals out of 24 major Canadian markets.
The average price for a one-bedroom in the city is around $860, while a two-bedroom will run you somewhere in the neighbourhood of $910.
You might be wondering if the apartments are even worth living in for prices like that. Surprisingly, the modestly priced units are actually pretty nice.
Whereas a $900 a month apartment might raise some suspicion in cities like Toronto and Vancouver, the places in St. John's would actually be quite comfortable.
You might have to deal with some intense winter weather during the snowy season, but you could end up saving so much money on rent every month.
These are just some of the least expensive apartments available in the city, and they might have you considering a move out east.
