Overview and location
SPR V3V4G1 is a student housing property located in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada (postal code V3V 4G1). The property is within reach of Simon Fraser University (SFU), which is the primary university serving the Burnaby area. The exact walking or transit distance is not specified in the available data, but Burnaby is a compact city and many student accommodations cluster near the SFU Burnaby campus.
The property offers a mix of room types: two‑bedroom (2b) units, four‑bedroom (4b) units, and branded independent houses. It is listed on the amber platform as a residence targeted at students. The minimum lease term is four months, and the earliest move‑in date shown is 13 July 2026.
Who this residence suits
SPR V3V4G1 works best for students who:
- Are looking for a private room in a shared apartment or house. Both 2b and 4b units are standard shared configurations, while branded independent houses typically offer more privacy (a house to yourself or a small group).
- Need a lease that is shorter than a full academic year. With a four‑month minimum, this property suits students on a single semester or a summer term at SFU.
- Prefer included amenities such as a dining room, laundry facility, and internet access. These are listed as tags, though it is not clear whether all are included in the rent. You should confirm with the operator.
- Are comfortable with the mid‑range price point. At an indicative CAD 880–930 per month (confirm with the operator), the property is above Burnaby’s city‑wide from‑price of CAD 500, but that city from‑price is likely a lower‑end option (e.g., a room in a shared basement unit). SPR V3V4G1 sits in a typical bracket for a decently equipped student room.
Who might look elsewhere
This residence may not be a good fit if:
- You need a studio or one‑bedroom apartment. The unit types shown are only 2b, 4b, or independent houses – no single‑occupancy flats.
- Your budget is very tight. The lowest price for any property in Burnaby is CAD 500, and SPR V3V4G1 starts at 880. There are cheaper options in the city, though they may offer fewer amenities or be further from campus.
- You want a property with verified resident reviews. The amber listing shows no reviews or ratings for this residence. If you rely on student feedback to make a decision, you will not find any here. Consider contacting the operator to ask for references or recent tenant experiences.
- You require a lease longer than 12 months. While the minimum is four months, the maximum lease term is not stated. If you need a full‑year commitment, you should ask the operator directly.
Price context in Burnaby
Burnaby’s student rental market includes about 60 properties on the platform, with a from‑price of CAD 500 per month. That low end is likely a budget room in a shared accommodation with limited facilities. SPR V3V4G1’s indicative monthly range of 880–930 CAD places it above the city’s median but not at the top. For comparison:
- Budget rooms: CAD 500–700
- Mid‑range shared rooms (with internet, laundry, dining): CAD 800–950
- Higher‑end studios or private apartments: CAD 1,000+
Given the amenities listed (dining room, laundry facility, internet), the price seems reasonable for a room in a well‑equipped shared unit. However, always treat these numbers as indicative and confirm with the operator at the time of booking, as prices change with demand.
Room types explained
- 2b (two‑bedroom): Typically a shared apartment with two separate bedrooms, a common kitchen/living area, and one or two bathrooms. One room per tenant; you share common spaces with one other person.
- 4b (four‑bedroom): A larger shared apartment or house with four bedrooms, often with shared kitchen and living room. Suitable for groups or individual tenants. Bathroom arrangements vary – ask the operator.
- Branded independent house: A whole house managed by a branded operator (the specific brand is not given). You may have the entire house to yourself (if you rent the whole property) or occupy one room in the house while others are rented out. The “branded” label often means consistent management, cleaning, and maintenance standards.
None of these unit types include a private studio. If you want complete privacy, this property is not for you.
Booking timeline and tips
The earliest availability shown is 13 July 2026. Since Burnaby is a competitive student market (60 properties listed), popular units can fill up months in advance for the September intake. If you plan to start in September 2026, you should begin inquiring by early 2026. The four‑month minimum lease gives flexibility for students who only need summer housing – but note that July start means your lease could end in November, which does not align with a typical fall semester (September–December). Check with the operator if you need a lease starting in August or September.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the lease length?
The minimum lease term is four months, as shown in the listing. The maximum lease length is not specified. For leases longer than four months, you should contact the operator directly. Some student properties offer month‑to‑month after a fixed term, but this needs confirmation.
Are utilities and internet included?
The tags mention internet and laundry facility, but the listing does not specify whether these are included in the rent or require a separate fee. Similarly, there is no information about electricity, water, or heating. You must ask the operator for a full breakdown of what is covered. The price indicated (880–930 CAD/month) may be base rent only.
How do I apply or book?
The property is listed on a student‑housing platform (the source is amber). You can create an account, submit an inquiry, and go through the booking process. Typically, you will need to provide identification, proof of enrolment (if required by the operator), and pay a holding deposit. Since this property has no reviews, you may want to ask for a virtual tour or floor plan before committing.
