The advertisement doesn’t say, and it matters:

Roughly where it is
Approximate — listings rarely give an exact address, so treat this as the block, not the door.
Renting in Mount Pleasant
Mount Pleasant is where a lot of Vancouver's design and tech offices ended up, and the rental market followed. It is central without being downtown.
How this compares
What we’d expect it to ask
$2,569 / month
8 times in ten the answer lands between $2,082 and $3,092. That is the width of what we actually know, measured against listings this model had never seen — not a margin we chose.
Asking $2,080 is $489 below that — further below than the ±9.8% we can put down to our own error. On size and location alone, it asks less than its neighbours do.
Asks less than we’d expect
What moves that number
The advertisement does not state a floor area, so size is not priced in.
Each line is the difference this one thing makes, holding everything else where it is. They do not add up to the rent.
Location
8 min on foot to Main Street-Science World (Expo Line), about 20 min to Waterfront.
How the score breaks down
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
$2,080 is $320 below the middle of the 101 one-bedrooms we are tracking in Mount Pleasant right now ($2,400). Most of them ask between $2,148 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
Laundry, parking, air conditioning, the bathroom count and whether the home sits below ground are priced in wherever the advertisement states them. The floor, the view, the light, the condition and the noise are not, and nothing we hold measures them: two identical floor plans, one renovated and one not, get the same estimate from us. This one gives no floor area either, so size is not in it at all.
Where an advertisement says nothing, we price it as unsaid rather than as absent. A short ad is not a worse home, and scoring it as one would price the landlord’s writing instead of the flat.
The advertisement doesn’t say, and it matters:
- What floor is it on?
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.
