Living in Brentwood Park: What the Listings Say

Condos define Brentwood Park. Of the 212 active listings, 190 are condos, a 89. 6 percent share, and the median unit was built in 2021. That leaves little else. Detached houses number 14, or 6. 6 percent, at a median of $2,184,000. Townhouses account for 7 listings, 3. 3 percent, with a median of $1,099,900. One other home rounds out the mix at $4,850,000. More than half the stock is new construction, 53. 6 percent, which tracks with that 2021 median year built. The median living area is 837 square feet, and the median price per square foot is $950. Two-bedroom units lead the count at 121, followed by 57 one-bedrooms. Expect towers, not yards. Gilmore Place carries the most active listings at 7. This is a market of recent apartments, priced for buyers who want a compact home in a building.

That 837 square foot median tells you how daily life runs here. You are living in an apartment, not spreading out across a lot. The median strata fee sits at $466 a month, and that covers the building around you. Budget it into your carrying cost from day one. A one-bedroom at a median of $559,000 and a two-bedroom at $790,000 both come with that same monthly fee, so the smaller unit spreads it over less space. Buildings like Escala, Slate, and Etoile run on this model. You trade a yard for shared amenities and someone else handling the roof. With a median year built of 2021, most of these towers are new enough that big repair assessments are still years off. The $950 per square foot you pay buys recent construction. Your fixed monthly outlay is predictable. Mortgage, strata, taxes. For a two-bedroom, the $466 fee is a small line next to the $790,000 price, but it recurs every month, and it is the number that shapes what living here actually costs.

Start by picking your price band, because it narrows the search fast. The $500K to $750K range holds 101 of the 212 active listings, more than any other band, and it lines up with the two-bedroom median of $790,000 and the one-bedroom median of $559,000. If your budget runs higher, 53 listings sit between $750K and $1M. Once you have a band, tour two or three buildings in it. Concord Brentwood Hillside East and South Yards both carry 5 active listings, so you can compare finish and layout without leaving the area. Ask each building for its depreciation report. That single document tells you what the $466 strata fee will look like in five years.
