Description

Ready for it's new owner, this unit at The Sandringham on Blackwood provides easy access to bus routes and uptown White Rock/Semiahmoo Mall. 1dog (14"at shoulder), or 2 cats welcome - create their own little spot in the enclosed balcony, to watch the world go by or a quick dog walk straight out to the sidewalk - no hallway or elevator to worry about. Ground floor with two balconies: one open, one enclosed. Good sized kitchen with easy access to the dining/living room area. Corner unit means extra windows, as this one faces S/E so you get lots of light, without the oppressive summer heat. Put your decorator muscles to work here and elevate a very nice unit to fantastic. 55+ building. Photos w/furniture are virtually staged. Quick possession works just fine here. No waiting.

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.
