British Columbia flatshare

Hi,

is it popular to share a flat in British Columbia ?

What advice would you give to those looking for shared accommodation in British Columbia?

Can you recommend specialized local websites or newspapers?

By the way, keep in mind there is a flat share/house share section in the Classifieds ;)

Thank you in advance for your participation and advice!

Hi Christine.   I am a 54 year old woman who was born in Vancouver BC   The best websites to find accommodation are Kijiji and Craigs List!  There you will find shared accommodation, rooms/suites/condos/apartments/houses to rent.   Vancouver goes from west to east along the waterfront.  Past Vancouver (going east) is Burnaby, new Westminster, surrey (avoid) as it is separated by a bridge) Richmond, (avoid because it is difficult to get to) coquitlam, port coquitam and then maple ridge.  If you are a family wanting to rent, it will cost you approx. $3,000-$6,000 a month to rent a 4 bdroom house in Vancouver unless it is a dump.  However you can rent a lovely house for $2,500 (4 bedroom) in Coquitlam....

Hi Michelle Deeley,
