The advertisement doesn’t say, and it matters:

  • 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 Burnaby

Burnaby is where most of Metro Vancouver's new towers actually got built. If you want a recent building with air conditioning and in-suite laundry, there is far more of it here than in Vancouver proper, and usually for less money.

How this compares

What we’d expect it to ask

$2,349 / month

8 times in ten the answer lands between $1,734 and $3,074. That is the width of what we actually know, measured against listings this model had never seen — not a margin we chose.

Asking $2,500 is 6.4% above it — inside the ±12.2% this model cannot tell apart, so it is priced about where we’d expect.

Low confidence20 two-bedrooms within 2 kmTypically within 14.5%

Nearby two-bedrooms disagree with each other by about 35% from quartile to quartile, so the estimate is only as sharp as they are.

What moves that number

800 ft², smaller than most two-bedrooms nearby (typically 907 ft²)−$138
640 m from 22nd Street Station+$97
This block asks more than the rest of the area+$55

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

Location

66 / 100very good

10 min on foot to 22nd Street (Expo Line), about 43 min to Waterfront.

Green space7 min walk to Taylor Park (11 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

$2,500 is $250 above the middle of the 301 two-bedrooms we are tracking in Burnaby right now ($2,250). Most of them ask between $1,900 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:

  • 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.
