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 East Vancouver

5 min on foot to Commercial-Broadway (Expo Line, Millennium Line), about 19 min to Waterfront.

Walk to SkyTrain5 min walk to Commercial-Broadway (Expo Line, Millennium Line), about 300 m in a straight line36
Transit to downtownAbout 19 min to Waterfront: 5 min walk to Commercial-Broadway, then Expo Line straight through22
Town centre1.1 km from the centre of Commercial Drive — the nearest town centre to this address15

Green space10 min walk to John Hendry Park (28 ha)6

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

$650 is $1,200 below the middle of the 331 one-bedrooms we are tracking in East Vancouver right now ($1,850). Most of them ask between $1,545 and $2,195.

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 ad does not give a floor area either, so size is not in it.

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?

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.
