Description

A great place to start: This 3-bedroom home offers a good, functional family layout, all bedrooms upstairs and a comfortable living area with a fireplace on the main-level entry. There's a nice, large covered deck off the back of the home, which gives you access to the surprisingly large, fully fenced yard. Perfect for kids and pets. There are two storage sheds plus a beautiful rose garden. The large side-yard gate opens to great RV parking, with additional parking in front. The fully fenced front yard provides mature landscaping for added privacy. Excellent location, just a short walk to shopping, dining, recreation, and schools. Enjoy nearby parks and Cowichan River walking trails. A few updates over time will maintain your investment and pay off down the road. Ideally suited to a young family looking to get started in today's market or to investors seeking a rental opportunity. (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.
