Blog /My New Place Downtown

December 07, 2007 06:25 +0000  |  Moving Vancouver 7

It's official, I now have an apartment. It's a nice one bedroom place in the core with a view of the mountains, a balcony, dishwasher AND a washer and dryer. All this for the low low cost of $1200. Trust me, that's low (how sad is that?)

Anyway, I take possession on the 15th of December but will likely not be sleeping there 'till after Christmas as I'm still not sure of how I'm going to get all my stuff from the Parent's place in the Okanogan down here. What's more, after all the money involved, I'm out of pocket roughly $2400 (half month rent + damage deposit + first month's rent) I'm going to be so poor that I can't really afford a real bed for the place. Looks like my futon will be it for a while longer.

Soon though, everything will be settled again... and I can't wait. I'm so tired.

That was quick, congrats. It routinely takes a month or so around these parts :) And yikes, I thought Toronto rents were insane, mine is lower than yours now.

Well you're not really paying for the space. You're paying for that awesome view of the mountains which you won't get over here. At least you get a washer and dryer in your pad. That's pretty awesome!
