Terra Nova homes for sale

What kind of homes are in Terra Nova?

There is no single housing type in Terra Nova. The active listings run detached houses at 54% and townhouses at 46%, which means two buyers with the same budget can end up shopping for very different homes on the same streets.

The stock is of one era: the typical home for sale was built in 1997, and nearly all of it went up between 1992 and 2003.

What do you actually get for the money?

65% 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 2,434 sq ft of living space and 3 bathrooms.

Where a lot is reported, the median is 5,490 sq ft, which is what sets the ceiling on additions, laneway homes and future redevelopment.

Enclosed parking is standard: 100% of listings include a garage.

Strata or freehold?

46% of the active listings are strata-titled and the rest are freehold, so the ownership question is a live one in Terra Nova rather than settled by the neighbourhood.

Across the 11 listings that disclose one, the median strata fee is $443 per month. Read it against what it covers before comparing two buildings on price alone.

Getting around Terra Nova

There is no rapid-transit station in Terra Nova, but 73% of the listings are within reach of a frequent bus route.

Across 26 scored listings the median walk score is 56 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 83.
