1 Bedroom Apartment for Rent in East Vancouver
$6,000 / month
A 750 ft² one-bedroom apartment in East Vancouver, asking $6,000 a month. The listing mentions laundry in building, parking included and deck. It leaves 4 obvious questions unanswered, starting with: what floor is it on?
At $6,000 for 750 square feet, the asking rent works out to $8.00 per square foot.
That is $4,150 above the middle of the 343 comparable rentals we are tracking in East Vancouver, where most ask between $1,550 and $2,180.
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 East Vancouver
East Van is the most affordable part of the city proper, and the most house-suite-dependent. A large share of what rents here is a basement or upper floor of someone's home rather than an apartment building.
How this compares
What we’d expect it to ask
$2,164 / month
8 times in ten the answer lands between $1,664 and $2,743. That is the width of what we actually know, measured against listings this model had never seen — not a margin we chose.
Asking $6,000 is $3,836 above that — further above than the ±11.4% we can put down to our own error. Something about it may justify that; the ad may also simply be ambitious.
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 45 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
$6,000 is $4,150 above the middle of the 343 one-bedrooms we are tracking in East Vancouver right now ($1,850). Most of them ask between $1,550 and $2,180.
A straight count of asking prices in the area, with nothing adjusted for — unlike the estimate above, it does not care that this one is bigger or closer to a station.
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.
