Description

Affordable Opportunity with Redevelopment Potential – COR1 Zoning. This two-bedroom, one-bath home on Nicol Street offers a unique opportunity for the right buyer. The property is well-suited for future redevelopment or land assembly, making it a solid holding investment. The home itself could benefit from some TLC and presents a great chance for a first-time buyer or handy investor to build sweat equity. Access is by easement via the neighboring lot from the alley. The property includes two outbuildings — one approximately 8x12, and another that’s in rougher condition but may be salvageable. This is a great fit for someone with vision who isn’t afraid of a of work. Priced accordingly to reflect the current condition and future potential. (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.
