Description

Located along the Fort Street corridor, this spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit offers convenient access to downtown, Oak Bay, and the surrounding neighbourhoods, with shops, restaurants, transit, and bike routes nearby. The location provides easy access in several directions while remaining just outside the downtown core. The unit is positioned on the quiet side of the building and looks out over Central Middle School Field, creating a more open outlook and some separation from the street. The living and dining areas are both generously sized, with a layout that provides plenty of room for everyday living and dining. Both spaces open onto a large balcony with plenty of usable outdoor space and an outlook across the field. The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and ensuite, while the second bedroom is also a good size and works well as either a bedroom or home office. In-suite laundry provides additional convenience within the unit. Secure underground parking and separate storage are included, along with bike storage, a workshop, and a recreation/meeting room within the building. With its larger floor plan, quiet position, usable balcony, and central Fort Street location, the unit offers a practical combination of space, accessibility, and separation from the street.

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.
