Living in Brighouse: What the Listings Say

Condos define Brighouse. Of the 192 active listings in this Richmond neighbourhood, 173 are condos, a 90. 1 percent share. Townhouses account for 14 listings, or 7. 3 percent. Detached houses are rare here: just 4, at 2. 1 percent, plus a single listing in the other homes category. The median year built is 2013, so most of what you tour is recent construction rather than older stock. That newness shows in the numbers. New builds make up 37 percent of the current listings. The median living area runs 909 square feet, which fits a market weighted toward one and two bedroom condos. Fifty-six of the listings have one bedroom. Eighty-four have two. Strata fees sit at a median of 556 dollars, a cost that comes with the apartment format. If you want land in Brighouse, your options are thin. If you want a modern unit, you have depth to choose from.

A 909 square foot condo built around 2013 sets the shape of daily life here. You get a compact, efficient footprint, the kind that suits one or two people rather than a large household. The 556 dollar median strata fee is part of your monthly math, layered on top of the mortgage on a median list price of 738,500 dollars. That fee is not a surprise cost. It covers the shared systems that come with living in a building. Factor it in early. At 834 dollars per square foot, you pay for location and recent construction, and the space stays manageable. Two bedroom units dominate the mix, 84 of them, with a median price of 753,500 dollars. One bedroom options run to 56 listings at a 499,000 dollar median, which opens the door lower. Buildings like Prima carry 10 active listings on their own. Hollybridge At River Green adds 5. This is apartment living at scale, close in, with carrying costs you can predict month to month.

Start with the price bands, because that is where your search actually begins. Fifty-seven listings sit between 500,000 and 750,000 dollars, and another 47 fall in the 750,000 to 1 million dollar range. That is where the depth is. Pick your band, then book tours across three or four buildings in one afternoon. With 10 active listings at Prima and 4 at Paramount, you can compare units in the same building and see how floor and view change the number. Ask each listing how long it has been on market. Bring that up.
