1 Bedroom Apartment for Rent in Burnaby

$1,830 / month

A 560 ft² one-bedroom apartment on the 4th floor in Burnaby, asking $1,830 a month. The listing mentions laundry in building, parking included and den. One thing the listing does not answer: which way does it face?

At $1,830 for 560 square feet, the asking rent works out to $3.27 per square foot.

That is $11 below the middle of the 214 comparable rentals we are tracking in Burnaby, where most ask between $1,600 and $2,138.

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

$1,867 / month

8 times in ten the answer lands between $1,380 and $2,454. That is the width of what we actually know, measured against listings this model had never seen — not a margin we chose.

Asking $1,830 is 2% below it — inside the ±12% this model cannot tell apart, so it is priced about where we’d expect.

Low confidence20 one-bedrooms within 2 kmTypically within 14.5%

Nearby one-bedrooms disagree with each other by about 36% from quartile to quartile, so the estimate is only as sharp as they are.

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.

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

$1,830 is $11 below the middle of the 214 one-bedrooms we are tracking in Burnaby right now ($1,841). Most of them ask between $1,600 and $2,138.

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.

This one is unusually forthcoming. It does state:

Floor 4ApartmentLaundry: in buildingParking: comes with the unit

Worth reading — but too rare across the feed for us to put a number on.

The advertisement doesn’t say, and it matters:

  • Which way does it face?

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.
