South Meadows homes for sale

What kind of homes are in South Meadows?

Townhouses lead the market in South Meadows, at 43% of active listings. That is the ground-oriented middle: more room than an apartment, less upkeep than a house.

The next largest group is detached houses, at 43% of what is listed.

Construction dates are spread out. The median home for sale dates to 2007, with most of the market falling between 1975 and 2026, so condition and updates vary a lot from listing to listing.

29% of the current listings were built in the last five years, so new-construction inventory is a real option here rather than an exception.

What do you actually get for the money?

46% 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 1,960 sq ft of living space and 3 bathrooms.

Where a lot is reported, the median is 7,200 sq ft, which is what sets the ceiling on additions, laneway homes and future redevelopment.

36% 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: 86% of listings include a garage.

Strata or freehold?

54% of the active listings are strata-titled and the rest are freehold, so the ownership question is a live one in South Meadows rather than settled by the neighbourhood.

Across the 12 listings that disclose one, the median strata fee is $452 per month. Read it against what it covers before comparing two buildings on price alone.

Getting around South Meadows

Rapid transit reaches part of the area: 14% of listings are near a station, while 89% are on a frequent bus route.

Across 27 scored listings the median walk score is 36 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 62.

Setting and surroundings

A view is claimed on 29% 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.
