Rent 2010 Richmond Accommodation
and Fully Furnished Olympic Rentals
Visiting Vancouver during the Winter Olympic
Games in February 2010 or the Paralympic Vancouver Winter Games
in March 2010? Richmond will be the gateway to all the excitement,
fun and the city of Vancouver when the big events come to town.
Finding the best furnished Richmond 2010 rentals and Olympic accommodation
may be hard to come by as the inventory for hotel suites/rooms
in addition to rental homes and apartment condos are quite low
at this time. With a population of slightly under 200,000 people,
the City of Richmond is a booming municipality in the Greater
Vancouver area and holds a great distinction among the Vancouver
2010 Olympic Games. Richmond will be a Venue 2010 City, which
means that renting a furnished Richmond 2010 rental accommodation
or home for rent will mean you will be in the middle of all the
actions, the venue and the events associated with the Winter Games.
 As
a Venue City for both the 2010 Olympic Winter Games and the Paralympic
Winter Games, many of the Richmond 2010 hotel suites have already
been booked, especially the ones close to YVR, the international
airport. However, there are still some great finds in terms of
rent 2010 Richmond accommodation and rental homes in this beautiful
city that will host competitions in the Richmond Olympic Oval,
an outstanding facility for speed skating that was opened back
on December 12, 2008. So if you are traveling to Vancouver and
would like to be close to all the speed skating events, finding
the perfect 2010 Richmond furnished rental will be of utmost importance
to you and your friends. This article explains the types of furnished
2010 Richmond housing that you can expect to rent in the city
as well as Richmond, the 2010 Olympic Venue City in addition to
other facts about Richmond communities and attractions that you
may want to visit during your stay.
Types of Furnished Richmond 2010 Rentals Available
During the Olympic Games
As a Venue City for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, it is no surprise
that Richmond was selected to host a number of speed skating events.
The City of Richmond, BC is one of the most multicultural cities
in the world, with more than 50% of the population a visible minority.
During the 2010 Olympics, it will be very exciting to be in Richmond
and to watch the various events and competitions, as locals will
be cheering not only for Canada, but also their home countries.
As far as housing types are concerned for 2010 Richmond rentals,
the city provides a wealth and abundance of plans, layouts and
configurations that will suit just about any traveler and visitor.
As a city of almost 200,000, Richmond rent 2010 accommodations
will come in the form of single family homes that present the
best option for parties of six or more people traveling together.
These large estate sized rental 2010 Richmond homes provide tones
of living space, multiple bathrooms, large outdoor spaces and
convenience with parking and other ‘homely’ features.
Please note that the furnished Richmond 2010 rental homes will
not have basements as the city is literally at or below sea level
in many places. The second type of rent 2010 Richmond rental accommodation
comes in the form of townhouses for rent. These family sized furnished
2010 townhouses are usually two or three levels and feature 2
to 3 bedrooms (some with dens), so they can comfortably fit anywhere
form four to eight people. Rent 2010 Richmond townhouses have
the added benefit that they are usually part of a larger master
planned community that comes equipped with on site amenities such
as fitness gyms, clubhouse, courtyard, professionally landscaped
green spaces, and other recreational options. The third type of
furnished 2010 Richmond housing comes in the form of apartments
and condos for rent. These Richmond condo rentals can come in
low-rise (less than 4 stories), mid-rise (four to ten stories)
or high-rise tower residences. The smallest of the housing types,
the furnished rental 2010 Richmond condos and apartments for rent
will be the most affordable but will range only from one to three
bedrooms (some with dens). Ideal for smaller parties between two
and six people, these condos and rent 2010 Richmond apartments
should also have the added benefit of onsite amenities such as
swimming pools, rooftop decks, fitness clubs, spas, saunas, media
rooms, billiard rooms and other such recreational facilities.
Also, these master planned multi-family communities in Richmond
should also be close to all major transportation routes so that
you can easily get to Vancouver or Richmond 2010 venues and sporting
competition events with ease. Also by the Olympics, the Richmond
extension of the SkyTrain subway will be complete, making it even
easier for you to connect to downtown Vancouver.
City of Richmond is an Official Vancouver 2010
Venue City Hosting Speed Skating at the Richmond Olympic Oval
The only other municipalities in the Lower Mainland to have the
distinction of being an official Vancouver 2010 Venue City include
Vancouver and West Vancouver (Cypress Mountain). The City of Richmond
furnished 2010 rental accommodation will be highly sought after
as the city will be preparing for some of the most exciting events
of the Olympic Winter Games at the Richmond Olympic Oval. Opened
in December 2008, the Richmond Olympic Oval will be hosting speed
skating between February 13 to 27, 2010 during a 14 action packed
days. In addition, a total of 36 medals will be awarded at the
Richmond Olympic Oval with 12 medal events throughout the Winter
Games. In addition to the indoor speed skating events at the Richmond
Olympic Oval, the City of Richmond will also be hosting various
outdoor events to celebrate the 2010 Vancouver Games so that travelers,
visitors and residents can take part in this once in a lifetime
event. The City of Richmond Official 2010 Celebration Site is
known as the O Zone and will be home to 17 nights of festivities
and celebrations/parties in the heart of the city centre. Therefore,
if you want to be a part of these Richmond Olympic celebrations
and the speed skating events, make sure you choose to stay in
a fully furnished 2010 Richmond accommodation or Richmond home/condo
for rent. Again, the inventory for rent 2010 Richmond homes, hotels
and apartments is very tight, so we suggest that you look soon
and book early as it is expected that prices will start escalating
once the new year hits.
The City of Richmond Municipalities and Communities
Featured at the Vancouver Whistler 2010 Winter Games
There are a number of communities and neighbourhoods that make
up the beautiful city of Richmond. Sea Island is where most visitors
for the Vancouver Whistler 2010 Olympic Winter Games will be touching
down first, and is the site of the Vancouver International Airport,
or YVR. Other Richmond communities that will be providing furnished
Richmond 2010 rental accommodations will include places like Bridgeport,
West Cambie and East Cambie that are closet to Vancouver in addition
to City Centre, Thompson, Seafair, Steveston, Blundell, Broadmoor,
Shellmont, Gilmore, East Richmond, Hamilton, Fraser Lands and
South Arm Islands. By far the largest concentration of furnished
rent 2010 Richmond condos and accommodation homes will be centred
in Richmond City Centre, Broadmoor, Steveston, Blundell, Thompson
and Seafair. Renting an affordable Richmond Olympic 2010 accommodation
in these areas should not be a problem. Best yet, for tourists
and visitors staying in these main communities and renting 2010
Richmond suites, you will be very close (within walking distance
in some cases) to bus and SkyTrain transportation which will be
ultimately important due to road closures and restrictions during
the 2010 Winter Games. A marketing plug for Steveston Richmond.
Waterfront views, fisherman’s wharf, whale watching, restaurants,
wildlife, parks, festivals, boutique shopping and natural historic
sites are what Steveston furnished 2010 accommodations in Richmond
Olympic Venue City can provide renters and tourists. Tucked into
a corner of Richmond 2010 rentals where the Fraser River and Pacific
Ocean meet is a quaint spot for shopping, dining and exploration:
the Historic Fishing Village of Steveston. A stroll through this
family friendly 2010 Steveston rental neighbourhood reveals a
warm, casual atmosphere where shopkeepers, residents and tour
operators always have a smile ready and time for a chat. Whether
you come for the spectacular ocean vistas, whale watching or to
learn more about the history and heritage of the West Coast, the
Historic Fishing Village of Steveston 2010 furnished rental accommodation
is bound to lure you again and again to the City of Richmond.
