Yes, anything ranked "acceptable" and above in a stand alone rental building will always be more expensive. What you get is a place that stands a better chance of being professionally managed, in an apartment that's not squished around the water heater.
Think of all the rental problems that have been written about on RS or in general. Almost 90 percent involve a basement suite.

I wouldn't want to live in a house that's older than 15 years myself. In East Van, there are so many newer houses and from what I can tell, almost all of them have their suites rented out. Just limit your searches to these. Most of them are relatively nice imo. If I was renting, I'd rent these save save my money over renting an apartment anyday.
I am not talking about renting some ugly smelly Vancouver Special suite.
