Renting in New Westminster
New West is consistently cheaper than Burnaby for a comparable building, and it has five SkyTrain stations for a city of this size.
The riverfront Quay district and the Brow of the Hill have proper views south over the Fraser, which is unusual at this price.
The housing stock is older on average than Burnaby's, so check for in-suite laundry and parking rather than assuming.

Common questions
How fast do apartments in New Westminster get rented?
Well-priced units in New Westminster 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 New Westminster rental listings actually get posted?
Plenty of them never reach the big rental portals. Owner-listed units in New Westminster 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.
