The details
Highlights
Ask before you view
The advertisement doesn’t say, and it matters:
- What floor is it on?
- Which way does it face?
- Are pets allowed?
- When is it available?
Roughly where it is
Approximate — listings rarely give an exact address, so treat this as the block, not the door.
Renting in Richmond
Richmond built a dense spine of new towers along the Canada Line, so the stock is young. Pools and gyms are common here rather than exceptional.
How this compares
Location
8 min on foot to Lansdowne (Canada Line), about 38 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.
Against the ones next to it
$2,200 is $300 above the middle of the 232 one-bedrooms we are tracking in Richmond right now ($1,900). Most of them ask between $1,600 and $2,200.
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.

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.
