Description
A property with real potential, 2639 Prior Street is a character home on a good lot tucked into one of Victoria's most walkable neighbourhoods. Inside, the character charm of tall ceilings, fir floors with diamond inlay, and a functioning wood-burning fireplace. Practical and rare dual-frontage off Bakery Mews, with potential for carriage house, or enclosing the existing 2-bay carport into a proper workshop with room for vehicles, toys, tools, projects, and gear. The GRD-1 zoning sits within Victoria's Priority Growth Area, so there's long-term upside for higher density. This is a chance to get into a neighbourhood people want to live in, at a price that leaves room to do it right. An easy walk or bike from the shops, cafes, and communities of Quadra Village, Fernwood, Hillside, Oaklands, and downtown Victoria. (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.

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.
