Description

A great opportunity to get into the Esquimalt market with a home that has been thoughtfully renovated and exceptionally well cared for. This spacious 1-bedroom offers more room than you might expect, with a comfortable living area, separate dining space, large bedroom, excellent closet space, and an updated 4-piece bathroom. The improvements throughout give the home a clean, modern feel while still keeping it practical and inviting.

Heat and hot water are included in the strata fees, adding to the overall value. From here, you’re close to the ocean, neighbourhood parks, shops, transit, and everyday essentials, while downtown Victoria is only a 10-minute drive away. Move-in ready, affordable, and positioned in a community that continues to grow. Don't miss out on this one. (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.
