A 1970s house on a big Brookswood lot is priced by what can be built on it, not by what stands on it, and the three Brookswood-Fernridge neighbourhood plans (revised for the province’s small-scale multi-unit rules, eight school sites, 27% of the community set aside as environmental protection) are the document that decides. Until they build out, the old side of the gap is land and the new side is a home, and the two do not compete with each other.
Buying an older Brookswood house means buying a lot; check the plan designation, the tree bylaw and the servicing before you assume anything about what it can become. Selling one means pricing it to two different buyers at once, and the one who pays more is the one who has read the plan.
