Description
Some homes are easy to replace. 158 Skylark is not. The house itself is excellent, but what really separates it is the combination of a newer single-level home, an exceptional 0.24-acre lot, a private forested backdrop and remarkable walkability right in Parksville. The fully fenced south-facing backyard backs directly onto protected parkland, giving you greenery and privacy instead of another row of houses staring back at you. Built in 2015, the home offers 1,865 sq ft with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, all on one level. Ten-foot ceilings, engineered hardwood, large south-facing windows and a gas fireplace give the main living area warmth and scale. The kitchen is designed for everyday use, with quartz counters, a generous island, quality cabinetry and a gas range, while French doors connect the house to a covered patio with skylights and the backyard beyond. The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and renovated 5-piece ensuite with a freestanding soaker tub. A heat pump provides efficient heating and air conditioning, while hot water on demand, a double garage, central vacuum, sprinkler system and storage shed add the practical pieces that make a home easy to live in. One of the biggest surprises is just how connected the location is. Downtown Parksville, cafés, restaurants, groceries and everyday services are all within an easy walk, while Parksville Community Park and the waterfront are about 20 minutes away on foot. It is the kind of location where leaving the car at home is genuinely realistic, yet once you step into the backyard, the setting feels green, quiet and remarkably removed from town. Beaches and oceanfront walks, golf, trails and the wider Parksville lifestyle are all close at hand. A very good house on an unusually good piece of land, in one of Vancouver Island’s easiest places to call home. Presented by Dylon Paul, eXp Realty.

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.
