1 Bedroom Apartment for Rent in Burnaby
$1,950 / month
A 592 ft² one-bedroom apartment in Burnaby, asking $1,950 a month. The listing mentions in-suite laundry, storage locker and furnished. It leaves 2 obvious questions unanswered, starting with: which way does it face?
At $1,950 for 592 square feet, the asking rent works out to $3.29 per square foot.
That is $101 above the middle of the 215 comparable rentals we are tracking in Burnaby, where most ask between $1,600 and $2,150.

Ask before you view
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 Burnaby
Burnaby is where most of Metro Vancouver's new towers actually got built. If you want a recent building with air conditioning and in-suite laundry, there is far more of it here than in Vancouver proper, and usually for less money.
How this compares
What we’d expect it to ask
$2,022 / month
8 times in ten the answer lands between $1,661 and $2,381. That is the width of what we actually know, measured against listings this model had never seen — not a margin we chose.
Asking $1,950 is 3.6% below it — inside the ±12% this model cannot tell apart, so it is priced about where we’d expect.
What moves that number
Each line is the difference this one thing makes, holding everything else where it is. They do not add up to the rent.
Location
32 min on foot to Burquitlam (Millennium Line), about 62 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
$1,950 is $101 above the middle of the 215 one-bedrooms we are tracking in Burnaby right now ($1,849). Most of them ask between $1,600 and $2,150.
A straight count of asking prices in the area, with nothing adjusted for — unlike the estimate above, it does not care that this one is bigger or closer to a station.
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.

Estimated 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.
