2 Bedroom Apartment for Rent in East Vancouver
$2,900 / month
A 800 ft² two-bedroom apartment in East Vancouver, asking $2,900 a month. The listing mentions in-suite laundry, parking included and balcony. One thing the listing does not answer: which way does it face?
At $2,900 for 800 square feet, the asking rent works out to $3.63 per square foot.
That is $600 above the middle of the 456 comparable rentals we are tracking in East Vancouver, where most ask between $1,900 and $2,800.

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
$2,636 / month
8 times in ten the answer lands between $2,027 and $3,342. That is the width of what we actually know, measured against listings this model had never seen — not a margin we chose.
Asking $2,900 is 10% above it — inside the ±11.8% this model cannot tell apart, so it is priced about where we’d expect.
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
11 min on foot to Nanaimo (Expo Line), about 28 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
$2,900 is $600 above the middle of the 456 two-bedrooms we are tracking in East Vancouver right now ($2,300). Most of them ask between $1,900 and $2,800.
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:
- Which way does it face?
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.
