How much are you paying for a 1 bedroom apartment in Vancouver?
What are good places to live outside downtown? 1 bedroom for 1500-1700, is it possible?
You can find somewhere in West end for that price range
West end is also closer to downtown. Any reason why it's cheaper?
Typical is 1900-2100 furnished in downtown or Yaletown. West end will slice a bit off that. Same if you move out to Kits or Main St/Mt. Pleasant.
How's Burnaby ? I'm sure it doesn't have the downtown feel.
I pay $1900 for a nice place in Yaletown 2 blocks from work.
Is it furnished?
What should be an ideal percentage of your monthly salary as rent?
Furnished you are looking at 2k minimum. Parking add ~$150/month. They used to say 30% of gross income should be rent. But that’s high IMO.
Metrotown and Burnaby sucks . If you move to Vancouver, live in Vancouver!
Even Metrotown is around $1900 per month for unfurnished 1b.
Friend is paying 2100 in Yaletown for a 1 bedroom
Your friend must be loaded ? What’s your friends TC? Or are they from wealthy Chinese family..
Whoops I forgot to mention that it is furnished! But he is a lawyer, he makes less tc than anyone software eng at big N company. Potential to make a ton though
