1 Bedroom House for Rent in East Vancouver

Location

12 min on foot to Joyce-Collingwood (Expo Line), about 33 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

$1,450 is $400 below the middle of the 344 one-bedrooms we are tracking in East Vancouver right now ($1,850). Most of them ask between $1,550 and $2,195.

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. 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.

The advertisement doesn’t say, and it matters:

• Which way does it face?
• Are pets allowed?
