Broadmoor homes for sale

What kind of homes are in Broadmoor?

Broadmoor is a detached-house neighbourhood. 65% of the homes on the market are single-family houses on their own lot, so the supply is set by how many owners decide to sell in a given season.

The next largest group is townhouses, at 15% of what is listed.

Construction dates are spread out. The median home for sale dates to 1993, with most of the market falling between 1972 and 2018, so condition and updates vary a lot from listing to listing.

What do you actually get for the money?

66% of the homes for sale have four or more bedrooms, with the 5-bedroom plan the most common of all. Family-sized space is the norm rather than the premium option.

A typical listing here offers about 2,512 sq ft of living space and 3 bathrooms.

Where a lot is reported, the median is 8,119 sq ft, which is what sets the ceiling on additions, laneway homes and future redevelopment.

Enclosed parking is standard: 84% of listings include a garage.

Strata or freehold?

33% of the active listings are strata-titled and the rest are freehold, so the ownership question is a live one in Broadmoor rather than settled by the neighbourhood.

Across the 14 listings that disclose one, the median strata fee is $550 per month. Read it against what it covers before comparing two buildings on price alone.

Getting around Broadmoor

There is no rapid-transit station in Broadmoor, but 91% of the listings are within reach of a frequent bus route.

Across 55 scored listings the median walk score is 61 out of 100, computed from real walking routes. Day-to-day errands here usually involve a drive or a bus.

Cycling scores better than walking in a lot of the city, and it does here too: the median bike score across scored listings is 85.

Setting and surroundings

A view is claimed on 16% of the listings. Views are priced aggressively and are the first thing a new tower can take away, so it is worth checking what protects one before you pay for it.
