Description

Some homes just feel calm the moment you walk in. This top-floor two-bedroom in Esquimalt's Grenville Walk is one of them, quiet and private, with durable floors running through an open, sun-filled living space and a fireplace to gather around on the grey days. The kitchen is generous enough for real cooking, entertainment is a breeze, and the primary bedroom has its own walk-in closet. Being on the top floor means no one overhead and plenty of light coming in. Step outside your door and you're right above the shops and cafés of Esquimalt Road, a short walk to the West Bay Walkway and Saxe Point Park, and just minutes from downtown Victoria. A home that feels private, bright, and easy to settle into. (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.
