The details
Highlights
Ask before you view
The advertisement doesn’t say, and it matters:
- Which way does it face?
- Are pets allowed?
Roughly where it is
Approximate — listings rarely give an exact address, so treat this as the block, not the door.
Renting in Kitsilano
Kits is low-rise by design. The neighbourhood fought off towers, so almost nothing here is above four storeys. If a high floor is your priority, this is the wrong neighbourhood.
How this compares
What we’d expect it to ask
$7,279 / month
8 times in ten the answer lands between $5,415 and $9,687. That is the width of what we actually know, measured against listings this model had never seen — not a margin we chose.
Asking $1,000 is $6,279 below that — further below than the ±14.6% we can put down to our own error. On size and location alone, it asks less than its neighbours do.
Asks less than we’d expect
Nearby 5-bedrooms disagree with each other by about 84% from quartile to quartile, so the estimate is only as sharp as they are.
What moves that number
Each line is the difference this one thing makes, holding everything else where it is. They do not add up to the rent.
Location
No SkyTrain station within walking distance, about 39 min to Waterfront.
Scored from the map pin alone — rapid transit, town centres and parks, in straight lines. It knows nothing about the street, the hill, the building or the neighbours, and buses and the SeaBus are not in it, so places served by those score lower here than they deserve.
What the estimate cannot see
Floor, view, condition, noise and everything inside the walls are missing from all but a handful of the advertisements we index, so none of them are priced in above. Two identical floor plans, one renovated and one not, get the same estimate from us.
This one is unusually forthcoming. It does state:
Worth reading — but too rare across the feed for us to put a number on.
The advertisement doesn’t say, and it matters:

Estimated from the listings on this site, not a market survey, and from asking rents — what a home is advertised at, not what it lets for.
