My top five condos to rent in Burlington for 2027 are The West at Stationwest, Gallery Condos and Lofts, Valera 2, The Palace and Vibe. A Burlington one-bedroom condo leased for an average of $2,159 a month in Q2 2026 and a two-bedroom for $2,785 (TRREB). The Palace lists heat, hydro and water in its condo fee.
This guide is for renters looking at a Burlington condo in 2027, whether you commute on the GO train, want to live downtown near the lake, or are renting while you sort out your next move. You get my five picks across the city, what Burlington condos actually lease for, and the tenant rules that protect you.
How did I pick the best Burlington condos for renters?
I only looked at finished buildings people live in today, spread from near Aldershot GO to downtown, Alton and Uptown Burlington. Then I compared them on:
- Getting around. A short walk to a GO station or downtown shops can save you a car payment.
- What the condo fee covers. When heat, hydro or water are in the owner’s fee, many landlords include them in the rent.
- Building age. Ontario’s rent cap only applies to units first lived in on or before 15 November 2018.
- Suite sizes and amenities. A commuter in a 400 sq ft suite and a downsizer in 1,200 sq ft want different things.
Building facts come from building-data website pages and the builder’s site, checked on 10 November 2026. I do not quote rents for single suites. The order is my judgement, not an official ranking. If you are thinking of buying instead, my top 5 condos to buy in Burlington covers different buildings.
How much is a condo to rent in Burlington in 2027?
TRREB’s report for April to June 2026 is the latest official lease data. The third-quarter report was not posted when I checked on 10 November 2026.
| Condo apartment, Q2 2026 | Burlington | Oakville | Halton Region | All TRREB areas |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| One-bedroom (average lease) | $2,159 | $2,178 | $2,152 | $2,273 |
| Two-bedroom (average lease) | $2,785 | $2,923 | $2,812 | $3,013 |
| One-bedroom leases | 217 | 339 | 682 | 12,096 |
| Units listed / leased | 488 / 377 | 713 / 549 | 1,471 / 1,135 | 27,844 / 21,251 |
Source: TRREB Rental Market Report, Q2 2026 (average lease rates for condominium apartments). Burlington bachelors and three-bedrooms had only three leases each, so they are left out.
Burlington condos leased for about the Halton average and below the GTA average. Two-bedrooms were $138 a month cheaper than in Oakville. With 488 units listed and 377 leased in the quarter, tenants had room to compare.
Asking rents tell a slightly different story. liv.rent’s October 2026 report put Burlington’s unfurnished one-bedroom asking rent at $2,106, among the five most expensive cities in Canada on its list. For houses, townhouses and basements, see my guide to average rent in Oakville and Burlington.
1. The West at Stationwest, 1119 Cooke Boulevard
What it is like
The West is part of Stationwest, an ADI Development Group community that ADI describes as master-planned around a large central park and steps from Aldershot GO Station. A building-data website lists the 1119 Cooke Boulevard building at six storeys, built in 2021, with 192 suites and a concierge, gym and party room.
Who it suits
GO train commuters and first-time renters on a budget. Suites here are small, from about 261 to 786 sq ft, which keeps rents lower.
What it costs
Small suites usually rent below Burlington’s one-bedroom average of $2,159. A building-data website showed five suites for rent at this address when I checked.
What to check
Measure carefully. At the small end, a suite may not fit a full bed and a desk. The building is too new for the rent cap, so ask about year-two rent.
2. Gallery Condos and Lofts, 421 Brant Street
What it is like
Gallery is a 23-storey Carriage Gate Homes tower in downtown Burlington’s Brant area, at 421 Brant Street and 2007 James Street. A building-data website lists it as built in 2023 with 161 suites, a concierge, gym, games room, guest suites and party room.
Who it suits
Renters who want to live on downtown Burlington’s main street. Suites range from about 514 to 1,986 sq ft, so there are options for couples and downsizers too.
What it costs
A new downtown tower will usually ask above Burlington’s averages, especially for larger suites with views.
What to check
No rent cap in a 2023 building. Ask about parking, which is valuable downtown, and whether it is included in the rent.
Condo Valuation
What’s your condo
worth today?
Three quick steps. Condos don’t price like houses — your floor, your view, and whether you own parking move the number more than anything else. This weighs all of them.

3. Valera 2, 3210 Dakota Common
What it is like
Valera 2 is a 10-storey ADI Development Group building in Alton, completed in 2023 with 344 suites, according to a building-data website. Listed amenities include a concierge, gym, party room and sauna.
Who it suits
Renters who want north Burlington, a newer building and a mid-sized suite. Sizes run from about 497 to 1,057 sq ft.
What it costs
Expect pricing near Burlington’s one- and two-bedroom averages, adjusted for parking and floor.
What to check
This building is too new for the rent cap. Ask what utilities you pay, since a building-data website does not list fee inclusions here.
4. The Palace, 1270 Maple Crossing Boulevard
What it is like
The Palace is a 20-storey building near Maple Avenue and Maple Crossing Boulevard, built in 1990 with 234 suites, according to a building-data website. It lists a concierge, security guard, guest suites, party room and meeting room.
Who it suits
Renters who want the most predictable monthly cost. Suites range from about 589 to 1,432 sq ft, so this is good for couples and downsizers.
What it costs
A building-data website lists heat, hydro, water and parking in the fee. If your landlord includes those in the rent, you may have almost no utility bills apart from internet. Compare that with buildings where you pay hydro yourself.
What to check
As a 1990 building, units here are almost certainly under the rent cap. A building-data website lists a pet restriction, so ask for the condo’s rules if you have a pet.
5. Vibe Condos, 5020 Corporate Drive
What it is like
Vibe is a four-storey building by New Horizon Development Group near Appleby Line and Corporate Drive in Uptown Burlington, built in 2014 with 93 suites, according to a building-data website. It lists a gym, rooftop deck and party room.
Who it suits
Renters who want a quiet low-rise in Uptown Burlington. Suites run from about 523 to 1,053 sq ft.
What it costs
A building-data website lists heat, air conditioning, water and parking in the fee, so ask your landlord to include them in the rent.
What to check
A 2014 building means many suites are under the rent cap, but confirm the first occupancy date. With only 93 suites, few rentals come up at once.
How do these five Burlington condos compare?

For a GO commute, start with The West. For downtown life, Gallery. For the lowest bills, The Palace or Vibe. To compare the areas themselves, see my best neighbourhoods to live in Burlington.
What are your rights when you rent a condo in Burlington?
Renting a condo suite from an owner is covered by Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act, the same as any other rental. A few rules come up again and again:
- Deposit. A landlord can ask for a rent deposit of no more than one month’s rent, and only on or before you sign. It goes toward your last month, and the landlord must pay you interest on it each year at the guideline rate. See my guide to Ontario rental deposit rules.
- Your copy of the lease. If the lease is in writing, the landlord must give you a signed copy within 21 days.
- Pets. A no-pet clause in a lease is void under the Act. But some condo buildings, including The Palace and Vibe, list a pet restriction, so ask for the condo’s rules before you bring a pet.
Is a Burlington condo rent-controlled in 2027?
Older ones usually are. Ontario’s rent increase guideline for 2027 is 1.9%, and it covers units first occupied for residential purposes on or before 15 November 2018. Newer units are exempt. On Burlington’s $2,159 average one-bedroom, 1.9% is about $41 a month. In every unit, the landlord must wait 12 months between increases and give at least 90 days’ written notice on the proper Landlord and Tenant Board form. My guide to the 2027 rent increase guideline shows how to check your unit.
In The West, Gallery and Valera 2, there is no cap. A good first-year rent can jump in year two. Before you sign, ask what the landlord expects to charge after 12 months and write it into the additional terms of the lease.
Burlington gives renters a real choice between new and predictable. If you want new finishes and the GO train, The West or Gallery are strong. If you plan to stay three years or more, an older building like The Palace, with utilities in the fee and a capped rent, can cost you less overall. If you are weighing a purchase, Burlington’s median condo apartment sold for $529,950 from January to October 2026, down 4.9%, and took 52 days on average to sell (TRREB MLS data via REALM).
What to do next
- Choose the area that fits your commute: near Aldershot GO, downtown, Alton or Uptown.
- Shortlist two buildings and set alerts for both.
- Write down what each rent includes: heat, hydro, water, parking and locker.
- Ask each landlord for the first occupancy date and their year-two rent plan.
- Pay no more than one month’s deposit and get your signed lease copy.

Frequently asked questions
How much is rent for a condo in Burlington in 2027?
A one-bedroom condo in Burlington leased for an average of $2,159 a month in Q2 2026, and a two-bedroom for $2,785, according to TRREB. Those are the latest official lease figures going into 2027. liv.rent’s October 2026 report put Burlington’s unfurnished one-bedroom asking rent at $2,106.
What are the best condos to rent in Burlington?
My top five for 2027 are The West at Stationwest, Gallery Condos and Lofts, Valera 2, The Palace and Vibe Condos. I chose them for location, building age, amenities and what the condo fee covers. The order is my own judgement, not an official ranking of Burlington buildings.
Which Burlington condos are close to a GO station?
The West at Stationwest is the clearest choice on my list. Its builder, ADI Development Group, describes the Stationwest community as steps from Aldershot GO Station. Check your own walk and the train schedule on the GO Transit website before you sign a lease, since frequency varies by time of day.
Which Burlington condos include utilities in the rent?
Look for buildings where utilities are in the condo fee. Among my picks, a building-data website lists heat, hydro and water in the fee at The Palace, and heat, air conditioning and water at Vibe Condos. Landlords often pass these on to tenants, but get the included utilities written into your Burlington lease.
Is Burlington cheaper to rent than Oakville?
Slightly. In Q2 2026 a Burlington one-bedroom condo leased for $2,159 on average, against $2,178 in Oakville, according to TRREB. The gap was bigger for two-bedrooms: $2,785 in Burlington against $2,923 in Oakville, a difference of $138 a month. Both were below the average across all TRREB areas.
Are Burlington condos rent-controlled?
Only units first occupied on or before 15 November 2018. Those are capped at Ontario’s 1.9% guideline for 2027 increases. Newer units have no cap. Every landlord must still wait 12 months between increases and give at least 90 days’ written notice on the proper Landlord and Tenant Board form.
How much deposit can a Burlington landlord ask for?
No more than one month’s rent. Under Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act, a landlord can require a rent deposit only on or before the lease is signed, and it cannot be more than one month’s rent. It is applied to your last month’s rent, and the landlord must pay yearly interest on it at the guideline rate.
How much income do I need to rent a one-bedroom condo in Burlington?
About $86,400 a year before tax, if you keep rent near 30% of household income. That is my arithmetic on Burlington’s Q2 2026 one-bedroom average of $2,159 a month. Landlords set their own rules, so have your employment letter, pay stubs and credit report ready.
