The advertisement doesn’t say, and it matters:

  • What floor is it on?
  • Which way does it face?

Roughly where it is

Approximate — listings rarely give an exact address, so treat this as the block, not the door.

Renting in East Vancouver

TransitExpo and Millennium Lines along the southern and eastern edges; heavy bus coverage on Commercial, Hastings and Kingsway.
Green spaceTrout Lake, Hastings Park and the PNE grounds, Central Park at the Boundary Road edge, New Brighton.

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.

What the estimate cannot see

Laundry, parking, air conditioning, the bathroom count and whether the home sits below ground are priced in wherever the advertisement states them. The floor, the view, the light, the condition and the noise are not, and nothing we hold measures them: two identical floor plans, one renovated and one not, get the same estimate from us. This one gives no floor area either, so size is not in it at all.

Where an advertisement says nothing, we price it as unsaid rather than as absent. A short ad is not a worse home, and scoring it as one would price the landlord’s writing instead of the flat.

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.
