Questions

Richmond questions.

Still have a question? Book a free call 778 900 1010

What types of homes are in Richmond?

There is a big mix. Condos and townhomes make up much of the City Centre, and detached homes fill the neighbourhoods around it. The Census figures above show the full picture.

Is flooding a concern in Richmond?

Richmond is protected by a large dike system, and newer homes are built to a minimum flood construction level. I look at the age of the home, the foundation and the insurance before you buy.

How long is the commute to downtown Vancouver?

The Canada Line gets you from Richmond-Brighouse to downtown in about 25 minutes. Driving depends on the bridges and the time of day.

What should I check when buying a new condo or townhome here?

The strata documents, the warranty, the builder and how the building compares with others nearby. With so much new supply, comparing projects carefully really matters.
