Get to know the park
Sardis Park is at 6898 School Lane. The City describes a five-hectare park with a 655-metre outer loop, playgrounds, picnic tables, a pond walk and washrooms. Take a stroll while you are in the area to see how it might fit into your routine.
The pond is unsuitable for swimming, according to the City. Plan on enjoying the paths and picnic areas, and check the City’s park listing for current visitor information.
Walk from the front door to the park
From each home you are considering, walk to the park entrance you would use most often. Notice the sidewalks and crossings, and try the route with a stroller or mobility aid if that is part of your day.
If a park view or direct access matters to you, check it at the property. Look out from the rooms and yard, and confirm whether the path to the park is public or crosses private land. Visiting at different times can also give you a better sense of traffic, parking and activity nearby.
Find the schools for your address
Enter each home’s address in School District 33’s school locator, then confirm the current catchment with the district. The closest school is not necessarily the one that serves the property.
Try the school route as well as the walk to the park. Both are worth considering when you picture a typical weekday.
Questions to bring to a showing
As you look around the home, think about the layout, parking and how much outdoor maintenance you would like to take on. Review its condition and, for a strata property, the documents that explain shared costs and responsibilities. These questions can help you make the most of a showing.
- Which park entrance would you use, and what crossings are on the route?
- Does the home have the view or park access you are looking for?
- Which school catchments apply to this address?
- Where would you and your visitors park?
- What should you look into further after reviewing the inspection and ownership documents?
