Description

Let your next chapter take flight in the Sparrow building, a 2023 construction from award-winning Abstract Developments. This one-bedroom unit makes the most of its small space. Features include discrete storage, in-suite laundry, soaker tub, nine-foot ceilings, and a covered balcony overlooking Hillside Park. “Geared” toward cyclists, the Sparrow provides secure bike storage as well as a dedicated wash and repair station. Residents enjoy having a dog wash station and Modo Car Share on-site, too. Situated in the Oaklands neighbourhood, with Quadra Village close by, the location gives you access to shopping and services; global flavours; local pubs; iconic coffee shops; and an array of green spaces. The views from Summit Park (a hidden gem) can take a short walk from your doorstep. And sports enthusiasts are just a short jog from the fields at Topaz or Royal Athletic parks. Drivers, cyclists, and transit riders agree that the corner of Cook and Hillside makes the entire city your home. (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.
