One in a million.

It goes without saying, but we’ll say it anyways. A million dollars is a lot of money. And in terms of what it can buy you, location is an interesting part of the equation. While the price of a deliciously sweet double-double at Timmy’s might cost about the same in Vancouver as it does in West Kelowna, the same can’t be said about a 3-bedroom home.

The cost of a home varies widely across BC. A 30-minute drive east in some parts of the province can have a dramatic impact on home prices. Let us guide you on a million-dollar tour of beautiful British Columbia. One home at a time.

Vancouver, BC | $959,000

Let’s start small and work our way up. This 2-storey loft might only be 852 square feet, but it’s also only steps away from the Sea Wall in False Creek. Hard to beat the location. The 16-foot ceilings with floor-to-ceiling windows make this place feel nice and open, and you’ve got two balconies to take in the views, just incase you and your partner need to relax separately. This just under $1,000,000 listing was built in 2009, includes a ton of amenities like a concierge, gym and sauna, and has strata fees of $550 per month.

Worth a look.

Vernon, BC | $925,000

This house is adorable. It’s on the smaller side for a detached home, coming in at just under 1,700 square feet, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in cozy vibes. It’s a two-bed, two-bath plus den, located in the heart of Predator Ridge. So you’re only steps away from teeing up if you’re a golfer, or a couple of minutes away from Kalamalka Lake if you’re into water sports.

Parksville, BC | $975,000

I guess it might be time to move to Parksville? This home is just one year old, and comes with plenty of fun features like a bonus rec room, EV charging, gas BBQ and hot tub hookups. Most importantly though, it has all of the space you need to accommodate a growing family - 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. The living room on the main floor looks bigger than the entire Vancouver apartment listed above.

Bowen Island, BC | $998,900

If you’ve been searching for a cabin in the woods, you’ve found it. This cute family cabin sits on a private half acre that gently slopes to the south, and enjoys the convenience of being close to Snug Cove, Mannion Bay and The Lagoon. You’re within walking distance to several pebbly beaches and just far enough away from the city to relax and unwind.

Chilliwack, BC | $995,000

You get a lot more than access to fresh corn for $1,000,000 in Chilliwack. This property is located in The Perch, a new gated community in the lovely Promontory neighbourhood. It comes with four bedrooms and bathrooms, and did we mention it’s brand new?

Move to Chilliwack.

As you can see, a million dollars looks very different across the province. Sometimes it comes with a hot tub, and sometimes with a hot plate. The good news is that location is all about perspective. One person’s happiest place on earth is another person’s oh my god look at all the lines and how expensive everything is - and is Mickey supposed to smell like corn dogs?
