Finding a place to live in Whistler

Classified Ads

You can look for accommodation by checking the Classified sections in our two local newspapers, the Whistler Question and the Pique Newsmagazine (both published on Thursdays). Accommodation can be difficult to find in the winter season, so the earlier you arrive in the fall the better, as long as you have money to live on. You may also wish to look for accommodation in Pemberton (30 minutes north) or Squamish (45 minutes south). Check for bulletin boards around the village, in various coffee shops, or at WERC.

The Whistler Housing Authority (WHA) was formed to oversee the development of employee restricted housing in Whistler. Individuals looking for accommodation can register with the Whistler Housing Authority (under "Accommodation Seeker" in sidebar menu on website) and create a seeking accommodation profile. These profiles can be viewed by interested landlords or potential roommates. You will also find a listing of available rental units on the WHA website.
