Description

Build your dream home on this pristine 0.50-acre cleared lot in the tranquil community of Bowser. Perfectly positioned between Courtenay and Parksville, this property offers a rare blend of ocean vistas at the front and a serene high-bank creek with mature trees at the back. This build-ready site comes equipped with septic service and access to community water. You'll be steps away from beach access and the local amenities of Magnolia Court, including a grocery store, coffee shop, and library. With the Bowser Marina just minutes away, this is the ultimate location for coastal living and outdoor recreation. (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.

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.
