Built out through the 1970s and 1980s around the Lakewood Civic Centre, Lakeview is a common landing spot for move-up buyers who have outgrown a starter home but still want an established street rather than a newer subdivision still filling in.
The tradeoff is age against layout. A Lakeview home from that era usually has a bigger lot and mature landscaping than anything built today, but a buyer should budget for a real home inspection, typically $400 to $600, to check the mechanical systems that come with a house of that age.
For a family that wants space, trees and an established feel over new construction, Lakeview is a strong fit. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
