1 Bedroom Apartment for Rent in Vancouver

$1,500 / month

A 550 ft² one-bedroom in Vancouver, asking $1,500 a month. The listing mentions basement suite. It leaves 4 obvious questions unanswered, starting with: when is it available?

At $1,500 for 550 square feet, the asking rent works out to $2.73 per square foot.

That is $600 below the middle of the 480 comparable rentals we are tracking in Vancouver, where most ask between $1,750 and $2,395.

Approximate — listings rarely give an exact address, so treat this as the block, not the door.

Renting in Vancouver

Vancouver is the tightest rental market in Canada, and the good units are gone within a day or two of being posted. Refreshing listings by hand is how most people lose the apartment they wanted.

TransitExpo, Millennium and Canada Lines; most of the city is inside a 30-minute commute to downtown.

Green spaceStanley Park, Queen Elizabeth Park, VanDusen, the seawall and False Creek greenway.

How this compares

Location

No SkyTrain station within walking distance, about 41 min to Waterfront.

Walk to SkyTrainNearest station is Langara-49th Avenue, 2.8 km away — not a walk0

Transit to downtownAbout 41 min to Waterfront: bus to Langara-49th Avenue, then Canada Line straight through14

Town centre0.6 km from the centre of Kerrisdale — the nearest town centre to this address17

More than one lineNo SkyTrain line is within walking distance0

Green spaceNo park of 10 ha or more within walking distance — nearest is Iona Beach Regional Park, 2.4 km away0

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

$1,500 is $600 below the middle of the 480 one-bedrooms we are tracking in Vancouver right now ($2,100). Most of them ask between $1,750 and $2,395.

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.

The advertisement doesn’t say, and it matters:

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.
