The details
Highlights
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 West End
The West End is the most rental-heavy neighbourhood in the city, and the one where you get the most floor area for the money. Most of the stock is from the 1960s and 70s.
How this compares
What we’d expect it to ask
$2,463 / month
8 times in ten the answer lands between $1,897 and $3,114. That is the width of what we actually know, measured against listings this model had never seen — not a margin we chose.
Asking $3,000 is $537 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.
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
10 min on foot to Burrard (Expo Line), about 16 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
$3,000 is $725 above the middle of the 135 one-bedrooms we are tracking in West End right now ($2,275). Most of them ask between $2,000 and $2,582.
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.

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.
