1 Bedroom House for Rent in Burnaby
$1,900 / month
A 380 ft² one-bedroom house in Burnaby, asking $1,900 a month. The listing mentions in-suite laundry, parking included and deck. One thing the listing does not answer: which way does it face?
At $1,900 for 380 square feet, the asking rent works out to $5.00 per square foot.
That is $25 above the middle of the 231 comparable rentals we are tracking in Burnaby, where most ask between $1,600 and $2,200.

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
$1,405 / month
8 times in ten the answer lands between $1,044 and $1,860. That is the width of what we actually know, measured against listings this model had never seen — not a margin we chose.
Asking $1,900 is $495 above that — further above than the ±12% we can put down to our own error. Something about it may justify that; the ad may also simply be ambitious.
Nearby one-bedrooms disagree with each other by about 34% from quartile to quartile, so the estimate is only as sharp as they are.
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
28 min on foot to Sapperton (Expo Line), about 58 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
$1,900 is $25 above the middle of the 231 one-bedrooms we are tracking in Burnaby right now ($1,875). Most of them ask between $1,600 and $2,200.
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.
The advertisement doesn’t say, and it matters:
- Which way does it face?
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.
