Rent starts at CMHC's average for a 3+ bedroom (1-bedroom for the suite) in Southeast Vancouver, Vancouver (CMHC Rental Market Survey, October 2025). Averages include long-time tenants, so new leases usually ask more; houses usually rent for more than apartments. 25-year mortgage; rental purchases need at least 20% down.
