Overview of SPR V3W2P2
SPR V3W2P2 is a shared-housing property located in Burnaby, British Columbia. It offers rooms in three-bedroom and four-bedroom units, as well as branded independent houses. The property is near Simon Fraser University, a common study destination for students in the area. Monthly rents range from CAD 780 to CAD 930 (indicative — confirm with the operator). The minimum lease term is four months, and the first available move-in date is 13 July 2026. The property provides air conditioning, a TV, and laundry facilities. No resident reviews were available at the time of writing, so the following assessment is based on the listing data and typical market conditions in Burnaby.
Who This Residence Suits
SPR V3W2P2 is a good option for students or young professionals who need a fully furnished, medium-term rental in Burnaby. The minimum four-month lease aligns well with academic semesters (commonly four months for spring or fall terms), making it suitable for someone who only needs housing for one semester or a co-op work term. The property’s availability from mid-July 2026 also fits summer intake or early move-in before the September term starts.
Residents who value shared living with separate bedrooms (in 3- or 4-bedroom units) will find the layout efficient. The branded independent house option may appeal to a group of friends who want a private house together, with the responsibility split among tenants. The inclusion of air conditioning, TV, and on-site laundry facilities reduces common hassle points for students — many older apartments in Burnaby lack AC. The price point, while above the city’s cheapest rentals (which start around CAD 500), offers a balance between affordability and quality amenities.
This residence suits those who can coordinate with flatmates. Since the units are multi-bedroom, tenants will share kitchens, living areas, and bathrooms. If you are comfortable with shared spaces and expect a routine household routine, SPR V3W2P2 works.
Who This Residence Does Not Suit
If you require a private studio or a one-bedroom apartment, this residence is not suitable — it only offers shared units (3- or 4-bedroom). Solo travellers or couples who want exclusive use of all rooms should look elsewhere.
The price is higher than the city’s from-price of CAD 500, which typically represents a room in a very basic older house or basement. SPR V3W2P2’s rooms start at CAD 780, meaning it is not the most budget-friendly option in Burnaby. If your budget is tight and you are willing to sacrifice air conditioning or newer furnishings, cheaper alternatives exist.
The minimum lease of four months may also be a barrier for someone needing only a short stay (e.g., a two-month summer course). Conversely, the lease length is shorter than typical 12-month contracts, so if you want long-term stability without worrying about renewal, this might not be ideal — you’ll need to renegotiate after four months or find another place.
Because there are no published reviews, the property’s actual conditions (noise, landlord responsiveness, cleanliness at move-in) are unknown. Risk-averse renters may prefer a property with ample verified feedback.
Price Positioning and Value
Burnaby’s rental market is broad: the cheapest rooms (often in shared older houses) can be as low as CAD 500 monthly. However, those rooms usually lack air conditioning, may have shared laundry in the basement, and sometimes involve longer leases. SPR V3W2P2’s starting price of CAD 780 (indicative — confirm with the operator) places it in the mid-range for a room in Burnaby. The maximum price of CAD 930 suggests that larger or better-located rooms (possibly in the branded independent house) command a premium.
Given the amenities — AC, TV, laundry — the price is reasonable for a student who prioritises comfort and convenience. The TV is a small bonus but not a major factor. Compared to on-campus housing at Simon Fraser University, which often costs CAD 800–1,000 per month for a shared room (with meal plans extra), SPR V3W2P2 offers a similar price without a mandatory meal plan, giving you more control over food budget.
Overall, the value proposition is average: you are paying above the city’s floor price but getting modern amenities and a flexible lease. The absence of reviews means you are taking a slight gamble on management quality.
Room-Type Guidance
The property lists three unit types: three-bedroom, four-bedroom, and branded independent house.
- Three-bedroom: Suitable for a small group of three people (or one person renting a single room). This configuration typically has a shared kitchen and living room. If you are only one person, you will share with two other tenants. The price for a room in this type likely falls at the lower end of the range (around CAD 780–850).
- Four-bedroom: Larger household with more potential flatmates. The rooms may be slightly cheaper per person due to higher density, but the common areas will be busier. Good for extroverts or those who want a social environment. Expect prices nearer the middle to lower end.
- Branded independent house: This is likely a full house rented as a single unit to a group, with a distinct brand or management. It may offer more privacy (e.g., a small yard, private entrance). The price for a room here could be at the higher end (CAD 900–930). Ideal for a group of friends who want to live together without strangers filling the other rooms.
When booking, confirm whether the price is per room or per person. Most student shared housing charges per room, meaning you pay a fixed amount regardless of how many share. If it is per person, the total occupancy matters. The listing does not specify, so ask the operator.
Booking Timing
The earliest move-in date is 13 July 2026. For the September 2026 semester (common start for universities), July move-in allows a buffer for settling in and attending orientation. Demand for student housing in Burnaby peaks in August and early September. To secure a room at your preferred price and room type, book as early as possible — ideally by May or June 2026. Since the property has no reviews yet, it may receive less attention initially, but once its presence is known, availability could tighten.
If you need a lease starting in January 2027 (winter semester), the four-month minimum lease means you could move in from September 2026 and end in January, or start fresh in January. Confirm with the operator whether the four-month term can be aligned exactly with your academic calendar. Some operators require fixed end dates; others allow flexible start dates.
Keep in mind that prices shown (CAD 780–930) are indicative and may change upon booking, especially if demand is high. Have a backup option in Burnaby’s pool of 60 properties in case this one becomes unavailable.
Frequently Asked Questions
What utilities are included in the monthly rent?
The listing does not specify utility inclusions. In most Burnaby shared housing, utilities (electricity, water, internet) are either included or split among tenants. You must confirm with the operator whether the stated rent covers all utilities or if there are additional monthly charges. Given the price range and amenities (AC, TV, laundry), it is plausible that basic utilities are included, but this is not guaranteed.
Is parking available at SPR V3W2P2?
The listing tags do not mention a parking space. Burnaby street parking regulations vary by neighbourhood. If you own a car, ask the operator about on-site or permit parking. Many student houses in Burnaby do not provide dedicated parking, and street parking may require a permit from the city. Expect to pay extra or rely on public transit.
How do I book a viewing before committing?
