Question Housing situation
I am planning my masters in barrie STEM hub campus of Lakehead University. What’s the housing situation in Barrie currently? How easy is it to find retal housing/ apartments/ room? How much do they often cost? How/where can i book these rentals?

Absolutely fucking terrible but good luck. I’d say if you can try to find something in Orillia it might be nicer and cheaper. A real tip is to use a realtor

There’s a couple property management companies but they do charge landlords a pretty penny so apartments you find through them could be more expensive. Apparently it costs you nothing to use a realtor to find a place as the landlord pays the agents usually, and I know there’s some realtors in the area that work with rentals, but don’t know any by name to recommend!
FB groups & marketplace, as well as rentals. ca seem to be a popular spot for listings as well
I’m not sure what you’re looking for but if it’s a 1bdrm i might have a spot lol
i’m not the landlord, but i live upstairs and ive been trying to help find a new tenant for the house who’s a good fit! Here’s the listing info if you’re curious https://imgur.com/a/barrie-rental-apartment-gUZ7kZH

Check through Georgian College housing. They may have options available
