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
$3,555 / month
8 times in ten the answer lands between $2,644 and $4,730. That is the width of what we actually know, measured against listings this model had never seen — not a margin we chose.
Asking $2,800 is $755 below that — further below than the ±13.5% we can put down to our own error. On size and location alone, it asks less than its neighbours do.
Asks less than we’d expect
Nearby 3-bedrooms disagree with each other by about 30% from quartile to quartile, so the estimate is only as sharp as they are.
What moves that number
The advertisement does not state a floor area, so size is not priced in.
Each line is the difference this one thing makes, holding everything else where it is. They do not add up to the rent.
Location
15 min on foot to Main Street-Science World (Expo Line), about 27 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
$2,800 is $200 below the middle of the 132 3-bedrooms we are tracking in East Vancouver right now ($3,000). Most of them ask between $2,700 and $3,672.
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 ad does not give a floor area either, so size is not in it.
This one is unusually forthcoming. It does state:
Worth reading — but too rare across the feed for us to put a number on.

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.
