The details

- 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 UBC
UBC and the University Endowment Lands are not the City of Vancouver. The UEL is unincorporated and provincially administered, home to about 4,000 people (University Endowment Lands Administration, retrieved 2026-08-11), and the campus is UBC's own ground. A private tenancy here is covered by the Residential Tenancy Act; a UBC residence contract is not, because s. 4(b) exempts accommodation an educational institution provides to its own students.
How this compares
Location
No SkyTrain station within walking distance, about 47 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
$4,500 is $300 below the middle of the 12 3-bedrooms we are tracking in UBC right now ($4,800). Most of them ask between $4,062 and $5,425.
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:

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.
