Description

Waterfront property on the mighty Fraser River, on full city services, in North Quesnel!! What a score. Located near the end of a cul-de-sac in Quesnel's most desirable downtown location, this 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom rancher with full, unfinished basement has major potential. With some minor TLC, an open concept main floor could be created that would gaze out onto one of the most famous rivers in Canada, right in your backyard. Large open unfinished basement with separate outside entry and roughed-in plumbing for another bathroom. A rare 66'x349' (0.55 acre) massive city riverfront property could be yours. Don't hesitate!

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.
