Description
Prime Development Opportunity in one of Parksville's most desirable neighbourhoods. Set on a generous 0.97 acres of serviced land, rarely do lots of this size come available. Current RS-1 zoning allows for construction of 2 dwelling units, each home can have a suite too if so desired. Potential For Subdivision: the current owner has explored the possibility of subdividing in the past and feedback has been positive from the City of Parksville. Buy and Hold for the Future: the City has been amassing small pieces of land in the rear of these properties since the 1960s for a future road between Sanderson & Soriel and, while it may be in many years to come, there is potential. Buyers to do their own due diligence. Water, hydro and sewer are already connected to the 2 bed + den existing home, which could be rented out while a new owner awaits construction permits. Close to the waterfront, shops and restaurants. A property with so many possibilities, sold ''as is whereas''. (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.
