What kind of homes are in Southlands?

There is no single housing type in Southlands. The active listings run detached houses at 43%, other homes at 36% and half duplexes at 7%, 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 1990, with most of the market falling between 1949 and 2028, so condition and updates vary a lot from listing to listing.

38% 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?

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 2,032 sq ft of living space and 3 bathrooms.

Where a lot is reported, the median is 8,806 sq ft, which is what sets the ceiling on additions, laneway homes and future redevelopment.

Enclosed parking is standard: 71% of listings include a garage.

Strata or freehold?

57% of the active listings are strata-titled and the rest are freehold, so the ownership question is a live one in Southlands rather than settled by the neighbourhood.

Across the 5 listings that disclose one, the median strata fee is $50 per month. Read it against what it covers before comparing two buildings on price alone.

Getting around Southlands

There is no rapid-transit station in Southlands, but 64% of the listings are within reach of a frequent bus route.

Across 10 scored listings the median walk score is 33 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 73.

Setting and surroundings

43% of the listings fall near a top-ranked school catchment, which tends to hold value in this part of the market even when the wider market cools.
