What do you actually get for the money?

61% of the homes for sale have four or more bedrooms, though smaller 2-bedroom homes still turn up regularly. Family-sized space is the norm here rather than the premium option.

A typical listing here offers about 2,748 sq ft of living space and 4 bathrooms.

Where a lot is reported, the median is 7,911 sq ft, which is what sets the ceiling on additions, laneway homes and future redevelopment.

58% 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: 100% of listings include a garage.

Strata or freehold?

47% of the active listings are strata-titled and the rest are freehold, so the ownership question is a live one in Westwood Plateau rather than settled by the neighbourhood.

Across the 32 listings that disclose one, the median strata fee is $499 per month. Read it against what it covers before comparing two buildings on price alone.
