1 Bedroom Apartment for Rent in Kitsilano
$2,700 / month
A 570 ft² one-bedroom in Kitsilano, asking $2,700 a month. It leaves 5 obvious questions unanswered, starting with: which way does it face?
At $2,700 for 570 square feet, the asking rent works out to $4.74 per square foot.
That is $300 above the middle of the 128 comparable rentals we are tracking in Kitsilano, where most ask between $1,999 and $2,650.
The details
Ask before you view
The advertisement doesn’t say, and it matters:
- What floor is it on?
- Which way does it face?
- Is parking included or extra?
- Are pets allowed?
- When is it available?
Roughly where it is
Approximate — listings rarely give an exact address, so treat this as the block, not the door.
Renting in Kitsilano
Kits is low-rise by design. The neighbourhood fought off towers, so almost nothing here is above four storeys. If a high floor is your priority, this is the wrong neighbourhood.
How this compares
What we’d expect it to ask
$2,085 / month
8 times in ten the answer lands between $1,539 and $2,728. That is the width of what we actually know, measured against listings this model had never seen — not a margin we chose.
Asking $2,700 is $615 above that — further above than the ±12.2% 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 39% 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
No SkyTrain station within walking distance, 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
$2,700 is $300 above the middle of the 128 one-bedrooms we are tracking in Kitsilano right now ($2,400). Most of them ask between $1,999 and $2,650.
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.
The advertisement doesn’t say, and it matters:
- What floor is it 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.
