Property Overview
SPR V3W3J6 is a branded independent house located in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. The address is BC V3W 3J6. This residence offers 4‑bedroom units (the only room type listed) and is classified as a branded independent house — meaning it is operated by a known housing brand but not directly managed by a university or college. Available from 13 July 2026, the minimum lease term is 4 months, making it suitable for semester‑length stays or longer.
Listed amenities include TV, laundry facility, and internet. The property has received a Google rating of 3.5 based on 11 reviews. No price information is publicly listed in the data set, and no deposit amount is specified. Prospective tenants should expect to confirm rental rates directly with the operator.
The property sits within Burnaby, a city with approximately 60 student‑housing options and a city‑wide “from price” of CAD 500 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). Given the 4‑bedroom configuration and independent house format, this residence likely targets groups of students or individual renters looking for shared accommodation near a major university in the area.
Who Should Consider This Residence
SPR V3W3J6 appears best suited for students or young professionals who:
- Prefer a shared living arrangement in a 4‑bedroom house.
- Need a lease of 4 months or longer, such as for a full academic term or co‑op placement.
- Value basic amenities (TV, laundry, internet) included in the rental.
- Are looking for an independently operated residence (not a traditional dormitory) with some flexibility in move‑in dates (available from mid‑July 2026).
The property may not be ideal for:
- Individuals seeking a single‑occupancy unit (no studios or 1‑bedroom options available).
- Those who expect premium property management or rapid maintenance response. The review data (detailed below) indicates some dissatisfaction with communication and service during outages.
- Renters on a very tight budget — without a listed price, you must confirm the actual monthly cost; the city’s from‑price of CAD 500 indicates a low range, but this specific property may be higher due to its house format.
What Residents Actually Say
The three Google reviews provided offer a mixed but largely critical picture of the residence / management. All reviews have been reproduced verbatim:
-
Alex Godwin (rating: 1)
“The recent water outage at Cathedral Court has been handled very poorly. Days have passed with no clear updates on when the issue will be fixed. Residents have been left unable to cook or use kitchen facilities, and the ‘temporary’ measures in place are nowhere near enough. What’s worse is the lack of communication—we’”
(Review cut off at end; likely continues to express frustration.) -
Lucas Madej (rating: 3)
“The office does what it can to help, but the university written rules that they have to operate in do suck more often than they don’t. Would not blame inconvenience on this office itself.” -
Mark Perkins (rating: 1)
“Poor service, awards do not clearly define the quality of the office, or lack of”
The overall Google rating of 3.5 (from 11 reviews) suggests a slightly above‑average experience, but the individual comments point to specific areas of concern: communication during emergencies, reliance on external rules that limit the office’s flexibility, and service quality that some residents consider poor. The neutral review (3) acknowledges that the office tries to help but is constrained by the policies it must follow.
Potential tenants should weigh these candid accounts. If smooth maintenance and direct, responsive management are priorities, you may want to contact the operator to ask about their current protocols for outages and resident feedback.
Price Positioning vs. City From‑Price
No exact rental price is published for SPR V3W3J6. The city of Burnaby shows a “from price” of CAD 500 per month across all student‑housing listings on the platform (indicative — confirm with the operator). This figure is likely a starting point for the cheapest room types (e.g., a shared bedroom in a larger unit) and does not guarantee that any specific property matches it.
Given that SPR V3W3J6 offers 4‑bedroom units in a house format, the per‑person cost may be lower than a studio but could vary depending on market rates, included utilities, and the condition of the property. Without a listed price range, you should:
- Expect monthly rent to be near or above the city’s from‑price.
- Inquire about whether internet, TV, and laundry facilities are included in the rent or carry extra charges.
- Ask about any security deposit requirements (none listed in the data).
Always confirm the total cost (rent, deposits, any fees) with the operator before committing.
Room‑Type Guidance
The property offers only one unit type: 4b (4‑bedroom) within a “branded independent house”. This means:
- The accommodation is a house (likely a detached or townhouse‑style building) subdivided into four bedrooms.
- Shared common areas: kitchen, living room, bathrooms (exact number of bathrooms not specified; confirm with operator).
- Ideal for a group of four tenants who want to live together, or for individuals willing to be matched with housemates.
No other unit types (e.g., 1‑bedroom, 2‑bedroom, or studio) are available. If you prefer more privacy, look elsewhere. If you enjoy communal living and want a relatively short minimum stay (4 months), this residence may work.
Booking Timing
The earliest move‑in date is 13 July 2026. The minimum lease term is 4 months, meaning you could occupy the unit from mid‑July through mid‑November (or longer, with a flexible end date to be arranged).
- For students starting a fall term (September 2026): A July move‑in allows early arrival for settling in, or you could negotiate a later start if the unit remains available. However, the stated available date is fixed — if you need to move in later, check availability with the operator.
- For co‑op or short‑term projects: The 4‑month minimum may be sufficient for many internships. If you need less than 4 months, this residence does not appear to offer shorter leases.
- Booking lead time: Since the property is listed well in advance (data as of July 2026), it is advisable to reach out several months before your intended move‑in date, especially if you are part of a group that needs to secure all four bedrooms simultaneously.
