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?

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

Renting in West Vancouver

West Vancouver is the most expensive rental municipality on this side of the region, and the smallest by supply. Most of it is single-family housing on the slope, so the apartments that do come up are concentrated in a narrow band along Marine Drive.

TransitNo SkyTrain. Buses over the Lions Gate Bridge to downtown, and to Park Royal for connections; the SeaBus runs from Lonsdale in North Vancouver.
Green spaceLighthouse Park, Whytecliff, Ambleside and Dundarave parks, the seawall, and Cypress Provincial Park on the mountain above.

How this compares

What we’d expect it to ask

$7,868 / month

8 times in ten the answer lands between $5,816 and $10,341. That is the width of what we actually know, measured against listings this model had never seen — not a margin we chose.

Asking $20,000 is $12,132 above that — further above than the ±13.6% we can put down to our own error. Something about it may justify that; the ad may also simply be ambitious.

Low confidence13 four-bedrooms within 4 kmTypically within 14.5%

Nearby 4-bedrooms disagree with each other by about 28% from quartile to quartile, so the estimate is only as sharp as they are.

What moves that number

3494 ft², larger than most four-bedrooms nearby (typically 2700 ft²)+$883
5.4 km from the nearest SkyTrain (Burrard)−$756
This block asks less than the rest of the area−$478

Each line is the difference this one thing makes, holding everything else where it is. They do not add up to the rent.

Location

40 / 100good

No SkyTrain station within walking distance, about 37 min to Waterfront.

Walk to SkyTrainNearest station is Burrard, 5.4 km away — not a walk0
Transit to downtownAbout 37 min to Waterfront: bus to Burrard, then Expo Line straight through16

Green space9 min walk to Ambleside Park (26 ha)8

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

$20,000 is $12,050 above the middle of the 20 4-bedrooms we are tracking in West Vancouver right now ($7,950). Most of them ask between $6,725 and $15,250.

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?
  • Which way does it face?
  • Is parking included or extra?
  • Are pets allowed?
  • When is it available?

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.
