Description

Located on a fully serviced 0.5~acre parcel (152' x 150') in Fort St. John, 7908 96 Avenue offers excellent potential for investors, developers, or those looking to secure a large in-town property with flexible RM-1 zoning. This zoning supports a variety of residential development options including duplexes, townhomes, apartments, and other multi-family style housing, subject to city approval and buyer verification. With municipal water and sewer services already in place, the property is well positioned for future plans. Conveniently situated near established neighborhoods, commercial amenities, and major routes, this is a rare opportunity to explore the possibilities of higher density residential development within the city.

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.

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.
