Chilliwack Proper East homes for sale

What kind of homes are in Chilliwack Proper East?

There is no single housing type in Chilliwack Proper East. The active listings run detached houses at 54%, condos at 20% and townhouses at 19%, which means two buyers with the same budget can end up shopping for very different homes on the same streets.

Construction dates are spread out. The median home for sale dates to 1983, with most of the market falling between 1940 and 2020, so condition and updates vary a lot from listing to listing.

What do you actually get for the money?

The 3-bedroom plan is the most common listing, with smaller and larger homes on either side of it.

A typical listing here offers about 1,580 sq ft of living space and 2 bathrooms.

Where a lot is reported, the median is 7,841 sq ft, which is what sets the ceiling on additions, laneway homes and future redevelopment.

25% of the listings report a finished basement, which in this city usually means either extra family space or a mortgage helper.

Enclosed parking is standard: 64% of listings include a garage.

Strata or freehold?

43% of the active listings are strata-titled and the rest are freehold, so the ownership question is a live one in Chilliwack Proper East rather than settled by the neighbourhood.

Across the 50 listings that disclose one, the median strata fee is $411 per month. Read it against what it covers before comparing two buildings on price alone.

Getting around Chilliwack Proper East

Transit coverage is thin here. Most listings in Chilliwack Proper East are not close to rapid transit or a frequent bus route, so plan on driving.

Across 103 scored listings the median walk score is 41 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 71.

Setting and surroundings

A view is claimed on 47% 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.
