Q: I have to move there on short notice, and if anyone has a link to find apartements there, i'd be greatful.In general how expensive is life in vancouver?

A: Figure Toronto price plus $200-500 a month and as far as boardwalk, you will find that on a Monopoly game, for a seaside or waters edge view either right downtown, or English Bay area, but there it will be over $1000 a month for even a 1 bedroom and most are condo's now, I lived there in the 1980's and had a bachelor place on a street off of Robson down near Denman, it was furnished and for a quick and short notice issue may that is what to look into, it is pricey, but once your setup and have a abit save then you can look for a permanent place.
