That's odd because the average rent in Fort Mac was something like $2,000/month in the boom times. Here is cheap in comparison.
Friend of mine is a heavy duty mechanic and worked up there for a while. Rented a shed for over $1000/month. Only power was via an extension cord from the main house.

...I had an apartment above me, where the spare bedroom - right above my home office - housed two lemurs...
They tried to keep it underground but Lemurians are flooding in now.

Hey, I've already said, months and months ago, that our housing crunch is due to students. But nobody wants to go there.

Victoria rental rates to rise in 2017 as new housing inventory fails to satisfy demand
Rental rates for upper-end, newly completed purpose-built apartment inventory in downtown Victoria and periphery areas are expected to break above $2.70 per square foot (per month) and in some cases reach beyond $3. Those rates translate into newly-built one-bedroom apartments renting for $1,350-to-$1,650 per month, a jump from $1,200-to-$1,450 in the present-day market.
Looks like Langford rates are trying to catch up to Victoria. $1475.00 for a 1 bedroom plus den.

That seems kind of steep for a wood frame building so far away from the city. Isn't that more or less on par with Hudson Mews?

Is the Hudson Mews a block from Browns, Bin 4, a Pizza Hut, Darcy's, Floyd's, KFC, 7-11, a Grocery Store, Bistro, gas station and a water feature?

Artist's rendering of Radius at Royal Oak, a six-storey, 66-unit purpose-built rental complex coming to the 4300-block of West Saanich Road. The building, proposed by Tri-Eagle Development Corp., was originally envisioned as a condominium.
Saanich developers drop condo plans in favour of rental suites
http://victoria.citi...-rental-suites/
Two condominium proposals in Saanich have been re-envisioned as purpose-built rentals, according to documents filed with the municipality.
Tri-Eagle Development Corporation’s Radius at Royal Oak project, originally slated to become a condominium residence along the 4300-block of West Saanich Road, will start construction later this year as a six-storey, 66-unit purpose-built rental complex.
“We realized throughout the planning phase for Radius that there is tremendous demand for workforce and down-sizer purpose-built rental housing in Royal Oak,” said Oliver Tennant, Tri-Eagle’s Development Coordinator. “Although initially planned as a condominium, condo-quality rental apartments became our focus and it has been a pleasure working with the Royal Oak Community Association and District of Saanich throughout this process.” [Full article]

I think there is very little rental properties in the Royal Oak area. That place will rent out fast.

Here is a disturbing thought. My insomnia got the better of me so here I am at 2:00 in the morning clicking on CBC stories that have links to other stories of a similar nature. I started off with the story about the 200 people showing up to view a co-op in Vancouver and clicked my way until I ended up with a year old story about bidding for rental apartments in Vancouver.
Warning! This article will scare you if you have children. They will not be able to afford to live in Victoria or Vancouver if this keeps up.
Western Canada is a very desirable place to live. There are more people that want to live here than there is housing. The price of home ownership is becoming out of reach for most. The price of rental housing is about to do the same, especially if the practice of renting to the highest bidder becomes the norm. This article is a year old. Don't click on it if you plan to go back to sleep anytime soon.
Frenzy of Vancouver rental market whips up bidding wars

here we go again comparing tiny Victoria (bedroom community of Vancouver) to Huge American Cities...
Sanfransisco Population 8 million
NY 20 million
i think most urban areas are expensive.
The GTA for example is more expensive to buy property that Estevan SK People like living in Cities so of course the prices re up there compared to semi rural
