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 Vancouver

West Vancouver is the most expensive rental municipality on this side of the region, and the smallest by supply. Most of it is single-family housing on the slope, so the apartments that do come up are concentrated in a narrow band along Marine Drive.

TransitNo SkyTrain. Buses over the Lions Gate Bridge to downtown, and to Park Royal for connections; the SeaBus runs from Lonsdale in North Vancouver.
Green spaceLighthouse Park, Whytecliff, Ambleside and Dundarave parks, the seawall, and Cypress Provincial Park on the mountain above.

How this compares

What we’d expect it to ask

$9,047 / month

8 times in ten the answer lands between $7,005 and $11,529. That is the width of what we actually know, measured against listings this model had never seen — not a margin we chose.

Asking $8,950 is 1.1% below it — inside the ±11.6% this model cannot tell apart, so it is priced about where we’d expect.

Low confidence5 three-bedrooms within 4 kmTypically within 12.4%

Nearby 3-bedrooms disagree with each other by about 30% from quartile to quartile, so the estimate is only as sharp as they are.

What moves that number

Advertised as penthouse or waterfront+$1,681
This block asks more than the rest of the area+$1,284
2191 ft², smaller than most three-bedrooms nearby (typically 2800 ft²)−$1,067
13.4 km from the nearest SkyTrain (Burrard)−$731

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

Location

16 / 100car-dependent

No SkyTrain station within walking distance, about 57 min to Waterfront.

How the score breaks down
Walk to SkyTrainNearest station is Burrard, 13.4 km away — not a walk0
Transit to downtownAbout 57 min to Waterfront: bus to Burrard, then Expo Line straight through7
Town centre8.3 km from the centre of Ambleside — the nearest town centre to this address0

Green space4 min walk to Nelson Canyon Park (36 ha)9

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

$8,950 is $2,102 above the middle of the 36 3-bedrooms we are tracking in West Vancouver right now ($6,848). Most of them ask between $4,595 and $8,612.

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.

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?
  • 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.
