Description
Tucked into the heart of Jubilee/Fernwood, this upper 2 bedroom unit in a 4-plex lives like a single level home, not a condo. Hardwood floors and coved ceilings run through a bright, spacious living room, while the kitchen offers a pantry and a sunny eating nook for slow mornings. The primary bedroom includes two closets, the second bedroom is equally generous, and the full bath's soaker tub is made for unwinding after a long day. In-unit laundry, a back door straight to your own parking stall, and a south facing shared yard with grapevines, peach and plum trees to harvest each summer. The roof was replaced in 2019, and this is a family-oriented, pet-friendly building with genuine neighbourhood charm. Bring your big dogs! At $362 a month, strata fees include a designated parking stall, 2 guest stalls, common storage and garden space, easy care living without giving up any outdoor charm. And the location cannot be beat, minutes to Camosun, UVIC and Royal Jubilee Hospital, with a direct bus route into everything Greater Victoria has to offer. This is a home, not just a unit, ready for its next family to fall in love with it. (id:63159)

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.

Financial Summary
Cash Needed at Closing
Minimum down payment: 5% on the first $500,000, 10% on the portion up to $1.5M, 20% at/above $1.5M. Stress test: OSFI's minimum qualifying rate, the greater of contract rate + 2% or 5.25% — this is what lenders require you to qualify at, not what you'll actually pay. Closing costs are a typical-range estimate, not a quote — actual legal fees vary. Verify all figures with a mortgage broker and lawyer before relying on them.
