1 Bedroom Apartment for Rent in Metrotown

$2,300 / month

A 566 ft² one-bedroom apartment in Metrotown, asking $2,300 a month. The listing mentions city views, in-suite laundry and parking included. It leaves 2 obvious questions unanswered, starting with: which way does it face?

At $2,300 for 566 square feet, the asking rent works out to $4.06 per square foot.

That is $150 above the middle of the 114 comparable rentals we are tracking in Metrotown, where most ask between $1,810 and $2,300.

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.

Against the ones next to it

$2,300 is $150 above the middle of the 114 one-bedrooms we are tracking in Metrotown right now ($2,150). Most of them ask between $1,810 and $2,300.

A straight count of asking prices in the area, with nothing adjusted for — it does not care that this one may be bigger, smaller or better placed than the rest.

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:

ApartmentLaundry: in-suiteParking: comes with the unitOutdoor space

Worth reading — but too rare across the feed for us to put a number on.

Counted 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.
