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
What we’d expect it to ask
$4,214 / month
8 times in ten the answer lands between $3,263 and $5,370. That is the width of what we actually know, measured against listings this model had never seen — not a margin we chose.
Asking $5,900 is $1,686 above that — further above than the ±11.9% we can put down to our own error. Something about it may justify that; the ad may also simply be ambitious.
Nearby 4-bedrooms disagree with each other by about 34% 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.
Location
No SkyTrain station within walking distance, about 47 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.
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.
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.

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.
