Description

A rare opportunity in New Westminster's historic Queen's Park neighbourhood. Situated on a prominent corner property, this protected Victorian Gothic style residence offers an exceptional project for a buyer with the experience and vision to undertake a substantial property project. The dwelling has extensive structural deficiencies, is not suitable for occupancy in its present condition, and requires major reconstruction. Offered as-is, where-is. Buyers must review the Structural Condition Assessment and Heritage Values Assessment through their Realtor before requesting a showing. All rehabilitation, alteration, redevelopment or demolition options are subject to City approval. (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.
