Spend your days exploring the renowned trail networks of Mount Tzouhalem, Maple Mountain and Mount Prevost, then come home to comfortable one-level living and your own private 200 sq. ft. wraparound balcony. Bright corner unit features new laminate flooring, fresh interior paint and no interior stairs, with one parking space included. Conveniently close to Vancouver Island University, the Sportsplex, shopping, the new hospital, restaurants and transit — making everyday life just as easy as getting out for your next adventure. Whether you’re a mountain biker, outdoor enthusiast, first-time buyer, downsizer or investor, this is a lock-and-leave base for someone who wants access to the Cowichan lifestyle. (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.
