The details
Highlights
Ask before you view
The advertisement doesn’t say, and it matters:
- 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 End
The West End is dense, walkable and almost entirely flats. Most of the stock is from the 1960s and 70s, and it is small: a median 650 square feet across the listings that state a floor area.
How this compares
What we’d expect it to ask
$2,868 / month
8 times in ten the answer lands between $2,215 and $3,663. That is the width of what we actually know, measured against listings this model had never seen, not a margin we chose.
Asking $4,399 is $1,531 above that, further above than the ±9.9% we can put down to our own error. Something about it may justify that; the ad may also simply be ambitious.
Nearby one-bedrooms disagree with each other by about 39% 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
13 min on foot to Burrard (Expo Line), about 18 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
$4,399 is $2,138 above the middle of the 139 one-bedrooms we are tracking in West End right now ($2,261). Most of them ask between $2,000 and $2,598.
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.

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.
