Description

Rare opportunity to acquire an approximately 8,000 SQFT North-South oriented lot in the highly sought-after McNair area. The south-facing backyard features direct access to the McNair Secondary sports field through a private gate, offering exceptional convenience for families with school-aged children. The existing home is currently tenanted and offers 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, providing excellent holding potential while offering the opportunity to build a new custom residence in the future. Ideally situated within the catchments of Lee Elementary and McNair Secondary. A unique property offering an exceptional combination of lot size, location, and long-term potential. A pleasure to show. (id:63159)

Transit

5 stop(s) within 800m

How this is calculated

Amenities: points awarded per category (restaurants, cafes, grocery, parks, shopping, gyms, pharmacies, banks/ATMs, healthcare) based on distance to the nearest one — 3 points under 200m, 2 points under 500m, 1 point under 800m — summed across all 9 categories and scaled to 0–100.

Transit: based on the number of transit stops within 800m and their mode (SkyTrain weighted highest, then streetcar/ferry, then bus). This reflects stop type and count only — our data doesn't include how often a route actually runs, so frequency is never factored in.

Both scores depend on how much of the surrounding area has been synced from OpenStreetMap and TransLink's GTFS feed. A lower score can mean fewer amenities nearby, or simply that this area hasn't been fully synced yet — not a confident measurement of the location itself.
