You are paying for the commute you don't have. Most of the peninsula is walkable, and the seawall wraps the entire edge of it.

Square footage is small and getting smaller. A 500 sq ft one-bedroom is normal here in a way it isn't in Burnaby.

Common questions

How fast do apartments in Downtown Vancouver get rented?

Well-priced units in Downtown Vancouver are usually gone within one to three days of being posted, and the best of them within hours. Being early matters more than being flexible.

Does a listing tell you what floor the apartment is on?

Usually not. Most rental ads in Metro Vancouver leave out the floor and which way the unit faces, even in buildings where those two things decide whether you look at a park or at the tower next door. We read the whole ad and flag what is missing so you know what to ask.

Where do Downtown Vancouver rental listings actually get posted?

Plenty of them never reach the big rental portals. Owner-listed units in Downtown Vancouver show up on Craigslist and Facebook groups first, and on the aggregators later if at all. We watch the places most renters forget to check.

Is Firstlook free?

Yes. You write the brief and we send the emails, which you can turn off from any message. We do not take a fee from you or from the landlord.
