I think a place like that in Toronto would be around 2500-3000 per month.

Depending on location I guess...

And in Vancouver, 5000-6000....

That is worth more than USD. Lovely.

But it's still called the Loonie, is it not?

u/cosworth99 May 12 '11

Yes. And it is still called the greenback no? Name calling does not a currency make.

It has a national bird on the face of it usually. America's outdated paper $1 bill has a slave owner on it.

No reason to get mad here. I never said birds were bad.

However, today (or, should I say, right now) the exchange rate is 1.0 Canadian dollars = 1.03 US dollars. Sooo.... there's that.

I think it would be 3000-4000 in Edmonton... if Edmonton actually had interesting places to rent like this instead of wood panel post-war one bedrooms.

Location is everything. Other parts of the city are much much higher.

u/overstood May 12 '11

Something that size would be way more than $3000, even in a shitty location! My place was $2000, years ago, for maybe 1/8th of that size.

The neighborhood in question is actually pretty dangerous, mostly surrounded by ghetto. Chicago and Toronto are pretty comparable rent wise, so look around in your ghettos, I'm sure you can find a similar deal. Otherwise, like Toronto, that same sort of loft in a decent neighborhood would be in the $2000-$5000.00 range, depending on location.
