Living in Poplar: What the Listings Say

Detached houses make up 33 of the 64 active listings in Poplar, a 51. 6 percent share that shapes what you see here. Townhouses account for 13 listings, or 20. 3 percent. Another 10 fall under other homes at 15. 6 percent, and 8 condos round out the mix at 12. 5 percent. The median year built is 1991. That puts most of the stock in its thirties, past the early-warranty years and settled into established streets. Median living area runs 1,746 square feet. Detached homes carry a median price of $1,198,000, while condos sit at $364,850. Townhouses land in between at $599,900. So the range is real. You can look at a two-bedroom condo or a six-bedroom house in the same Abbotsford neighbourhood, and the listings support both ends. Just 10 percent are new builds, so expect resale homes from the 1990s to define your search.

A median 1,746 square feet gives you room to work with, and at $437 per square foot that space translates into a monthly picture worth doing the math on. The median strata fee sits at $401. On a townhouse or condo, that covers the shared building costs on top of your mortgage, so budget for it as a fixed line. Homes built around 1991 come with maintenance you plan for rather than surprises you scramble on. Roofs, furnaces, and windows from that era are often on their second round. Strata buildings carry names you will see again. Huntingdon Village shows 4 active listings. Maplewood Estates, College Park Place, and Central Heights Manor each show 3. Alderglen and Crown Point each list 2. Those are the addresses where the $401 fee applies most directly. Daily life here means a settled street, a home with real square footage, and a carrying cost you can pin down before you offer.

Start with the price band that fits your budget, because Poplar splits cleanly. Fourteen listings sit under $500,000, another 17 land between $1M and $1. 5M, and 7 climb past $2. 5M. Those are three different searches, so pick yours before you book showings. If you want a three-bedroom, twelve are active at a median of $798,000. If a five- or six-bedroom house is the goal, ten of each are listed near the $1. 2 million mark. Pull the specific addresses in your band, then go see two or three in person. Twelve homes came to market in the last thirty days. New listings arrive steadily here, so a slow week is not a dry one.
