Detached houses account for 17 listings, or 27. 4 percent, at a median of $899,900. The remaining stock splits into 9 other homes, 2 townhouses, and 2 half duplexes. This is a new build market. The median year built is 2023, and 64. 2 percent of what is listed counts as new construction. Aqua Shores Harrison alone carries 22 of the active listings. That newness shows up in the median living area, 1,057 square feet, and in the median strata fee of $329. Overall the median list price sits at $699,450. Condos run a median of $681,500, so you can buy into the neighbourhood below that figure without stretching for a detached house near $900,000.

A median living area of 1,057 square feet tells you what daily life looks like here. Most of these homes are compact, built for one or two people rather than a large family. That fits the bedroom count. Sixteen listings are one-bedroom, and 18 are two-bedroom, so 34 of the 62 homes hold two beds or fewer. The $329 median strata fee is the monthly number to plan around. It covers the shared costs on a newer building, which is where most of the stock sits. At Aqua Shores Harrison, the largest single group with 22 active listings, that fee shapes your carrying costs alongside the mortgage. A two-bedroom runs a median of $804,500, a one-bedroom $599,000. The gap is real. Add the strata fee to either, and you have the outline of a monthly budget before taxes and utilities. This is a small footprint at a walkable scale. You trade square footage for a newer build and a lower entry price than the $899,900 detached median.
