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?
- 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 Downtown Vancouver
Downtown has the densest rental stock in the region and it turns over faster than anywhere else. Good units are often leased before they finish a full day online.
How this compares
Location
12 min on foot to Yaletown-Roundhouse (Canada Line), about 19 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 $546 above the middle of the 38 studios we are tracking in Downtown Vancouver right now ($2,254). Most of them ask between $2,092 and $2,400.
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:

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.
