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?

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 rents the largest homes in the region, a median 1,495 square feet, and it is the smallest rental market on the North Shore at 198 listings against 615 in North Vancouver. 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

$2,098 / month

8 times in ten the answer lands between $1,620 and $2,689. That is the width of what we actually know, measured against listings this model had never seen, not a margin we chose.

Asking $1,850 is $248 below that, further below than the ±9.5% 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

Low confidence9 studios within 4 kmTypically within 12.1%

Nearby studios disagree with each other by about 45% from quartile to quartile, so the estimate is only as sharp as they are.

What moves that number

5.6 km from the nearest SkyTrain (Burrard)−$90
493 ft², larger than most studios nearby (typically 460 ft²)+$65
This block asks less than the rest of the area−$58

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.

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?

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.
