Renting in Surrey
Surrey City Centre has the cheapest new high-rise in Metro Vancouver. A new one-bedroom with a gym and parking here costs what an older walk-up costs in Vancouver.
It is about an hour to downtown Vancouver on the Expo Line, and that is the whole reason it is cheap.
Surrey is enormous and the sub-areas are nothing alike. City Centre, Guildford, Fleetwood, Newton and South Surrey each behave like separate markets.

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