This 2 level home features a large living room, kitchen, dining room & 2 bedrooms + 1 bath upstairs along with a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom mortgage helper suite downstairs. The home is certainly livable but the value is in the prime flat lot. Located close to Cascade Elementary School, Moscrop High School, Metrotown Mall, Brentwood Mall, Central Park, Patterson & Joyce Skytrain Stations & Hwy 1 Access. Don't miss this opportunity!

5/9 categories nearby

Transit

5 stop(s) within 800m

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.
