If you’re looking for student housing near Vancouver Community College, the first question is which campus your program is on, since VCC has no on-campus housing. Mount Pleasant, Mariner Mews, Landmark Caprice, and Windsor Park are by the Broadway campus at 1155 East Broadway, and Studio at 518 Beatty, 33 Living, and The Cosmo are by the Downtown campus at 250 West Pender Street. Each campus teaches different programs, so we’ve treated this as a trade-off, not one ranking, and we cover the rent math for sharing a three-bedroom.<\/p>\n

Your program decides, because VCC teaches different programs at each campus. VCC’s campus tours page<\/a> lists Health Care, University Transfer, and Transportation Trades at the Broadway campus, and Dental, Design, Culinary, and Hairstyling at the Downtown campus. VCC’s 2026\/27 program guide adds that the college serves 13,000 students a year across its two campuses.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The two campuses sit at different SkyTrain stations too. VCC’s transit page<\/a> puts the Broadway campus just steps from VCC-Clark Station on the Millennium Line, and the Downtown campus a short walk from Stadium-Chinatown Station on the Expo Line. If you’ll attend both, TransLink’s SkyTrain page<\/a> says you can ride the Expo Line to Commercial-Broadway Station and transfer to the Millennium Line. Our guide to apartments near Commercial-Broadway Station<\/a> covers the blocks around that interchange.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Splitting a three-bedroom would run about $1,383 a month each three ways, or about $1,038 a month each four ways, before utilities. We worked that out from Statistics Canada’s average asking rent for a three-or-more-bedroom apartment in the Vancouver census metropolitan area, $4,150 a month in the second quarter of 2026. The source is table 46-10-0092-01<\/a>, released September 9, 2026. Asking rent is what listings advertise, and the table publishes no paid-rent figure for three-bedroom apartments in Vancouver.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n That $4,150 average is down about 4.2% from $4,330 in the second quarter of 2025, though Statistics Canada flags that year-earlier figure for cautious use (we worked out the percentage ourselves). The average covers the whole metropolitan area, so it can’t tell you anything about either campus, and no source we could cite publishes rent by campus or by building. We also couldn’t find a source that says how many three-bedroom suites any of the seven buildings below contain.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For a second yardstick, liv.rent’s October 2026 Metro Vancouver rent report<\/a>, published October 2, 2026, puts the average asking rent for an unfurnished one-bedroom in the City of Vancouver’s Downtown neighbourhood at $2,496. In the text we could read, the report shows no figure for the blocks near the Broadway campus, so it can’t rank the two sides.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On the budget side, VCC’s guide for international students<\/a> says VCC has no on-campus housing or dormitory. It advises budgeting a minimum of $2,000 to $2,500 per month, with housing alone ranging from $1,000 to $3,000 per month as of 2025 (the page itself is undated).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Four of the seven suit the Broadway campus and three suit the Downtown campus. We couldn’t find walking times in any source, so the table places each building by street address only. Here’s how to read those numbers: under the City of Vancouver’s address assignment guidelines<\/a>, East addresses count up going east and West addresses count up going west, starting from Ontario Street (Carrall Street downtown). So on the same street, a lower number sits closer to that starting point. All seven are strata-titled: each suite has its own owner who may rent it out. The facts below come from the buildings’ strata listing summaries on BC Condos and Homes<\/a> and, for Studio, from the heritage register. Each building name links to its liv.rent page, so you can look at any of them yourself.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nWhat does it cost to split a three-bedroom near VCC in 2026?<\/h2>\n
