Should I leave my Burnaby rental for Vancouver?
I'm situated in Burnaby close to Crystal Mall and Metrotown paying $1650 (utilities included) 1br. I live with my partner. Lately I've been thinking it would be nice to have more space + total 2br, for a basement rental near Boundary at $1800 (utilities not included).
I've been renting here for 3 years and have decent sunlight as it's a ground level private entrance, just attached to my landlord's home. I work at home and have a car. The 2br in Vancouver would be private entrance basement underneath landlord's home.
I've become so accustomed to the convenience and walkability of Metrotown that it feels hard to give up, especially at the price I'm paying.
