2 Bedroom Apartment for Rent in Vancouver
$12,000 / month
A 3,000 ft² two-bedroom in Vancouver, asking $12,000 a month. The listing mentions penthouse. It leaves 4 obvious questions unanswered, starting with: which way does it face?
At $12,000 for 3,000 square feet, the asking rent works out to $4.00 per square foot.
That is $9,200 above the middle of the 542 comparable rentals we are tracking in Vancouver, where most ask between $2,300 and $3,500.
The details
Highlights
Ask before you view
The advertisement doesn’t say, and it matters:
- Which way does it face?
- Is parking included or extra?
- 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 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.
How this compares
Location
35 min on foot to Burrard (Expo Line), about 26 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
$12,000 is $9,200 above the middle of the 542 two-bedrooms we are tracking in Vancouver right now ($2,800). Most of them ask between $2,300 and $3,500.
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.

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.
