Studio Apartment for Rent in Downtown Vancouver

Location

11 min on foot to Vancouver City Centre (Canada Line), about 16 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

$2,300 is exactly the middle of the 53 studios we are tracking in Downtown Vancouver right now ($2,300). Most of them ask between $2,000 and $2,625.

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:

• What floor is it on?
• Which way does it face?
• Is parking included or extra?
• Are pets allowed?
• When is it available?
