I saw three apartments today. Two in the 'west end', one in 'Kits'. Much to my delight, the process is so relaxed that you can see a new ad in the paper, call them, and it hasn't disappeared, yet (unlike the case in Toronto).
Here's a feature in Vancouver apartment hunting. The building management typically doesn't post apartment vacancies. They just place a sign in the lawn, and wait for people to come around and see the place.
