1 Bedroom House for Rent in Richmond
$1,580 / month
A 550 ft² one-bedroom house in Richmond, asking $1,580 a month. The listing mentions in-suite laundry, SkyTrain nearby and utilities included. One thing the listing does not answer: which way does it face?
At $1,580 for 550 square feet, the asking rent works out to $2.87 per square foot.
That is $320 below the middle of the 193 comparable rentals we are tracking in Richmond, where most ask between $1,600 and $2,200.

Ask before you view
The advertisement doesn’t say, and it matters:

Roughly where it is
Approximate — listings rarely give an exact address, so treat this as the block, not the door.
Renting in Richmond
Richmond built a dense spine of new towers along the Canada Line, so the stock is young. Pools and gyms are common here rather than exceptional.
How this compares
Location
21 min on foot to Bridgeport (Canada Line), about 41 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
$1,580 is $320 below the middle of the 193 one-bedrooms we are tracking in Richmond right now ($1,900). Most of them ask between $1,600 and $2,200.
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 one is unusually forthcoming. It does state:
Worth reading — but too rare across the feed for us to put a number on.

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.
