Highlights

Laundry in building

Ask before you view

The advertisement doesn’t say, and it matters:

  • What floor is it on?
  • Which way does it face?

Roughly where it is

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

29 / 100fair

No SkyTrain station within walking distance, about 40 min to Waterfront.

Walk to SkyTrainNearest station is Yaletown-Roundhouse, 5.5 km away — not a walk0
Transit to downtownAbout 40 min to Waterfront: bus to Yaletown-Roundhouse, then Canada Line straight through15
Town centre3.1 km from the centre of Kitsilano — the nearest town centre to this address5

Green space4 min walk to Jericho Beach Park (48 ha)9

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 ad does not give a floor area either, so size is not in it.

This one is unusually forthcoming. It does state:

Floor 2ApartmentLaundry: in buildingParking: street only

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

The advertisement doesn’t say, and it matters:

  • What floor is it on?
  • Which way does it face?

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.
