What kind of homes are in Garden City?

Garden City is a detached-house neighbourhood. 69% 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 31% of what is listed.

Construction dates are spread out. The median home for sale dates to 1991, with most of the market falling between 1958 and 2007, so condition and updates vary a lot from listing to listing.

What do you actually get for the money?

63% of the homes for sale have four or more bedrooms, though smaller 3-bedroom homes still turn up regularly. Family-sized space is the norm here rather than the premium option.

A typical listing here offers about 2,729 sq ft of living space and 3 bathrooms.

Where a lot is reported, the median is 7,916 sq ft, which is what sets the ceiling on additions, laneway homes and future redevelopment.

Enclosed parking is standard: 88% of listings include a garage.

Strata or freehold?

31% of the active listings are strata-titled and the rest are freehold, so the ownership question is a live one in Garden City rather than settled by the neighbourhood.

Across the 5 listings that disclose one, the median strata fee is $459 per month. Read it against what it covers before comparing two buildings on price alone.
