Direct answers
Currie Barracks, answered before the long read.
Concise, extractable answers first; evidence, definitions and property-level limitations follow below.

190 occupied private dwellings were reported as apartments in buildings with fewer than five storeys in the 2021 Census profile (33%); 180 single-detached houses represented another 32%.

Currie Barracks’ largest reported construction cohort was 2016 to 2021 with 300 occupied private dwellings (53%), followed by 2011 to 2015 with 250 (44%). The date helps shape inspection questions but does not establish effective age after renovation or replacement work.

04What is the most important property-level check?

Official records provide dated community context. Current listing status and conclusions about one property still require the applicable live record and property documents.

Buyer inspection lensTurn the profile into property questions.
Question 1Address-specific local context
Identify address-specific water, drainage, slope, noise, traffic, construction, fire, environmental or insurance questions relevant to the Currie Barracks property; do not generalize an exposure to every home.
Question 2Permits and land use
Confirm the current municipal land-use designation, permit history, approved plans and any nearby application for the exact Currie Barracks address.
Question 3Title and insurance
Review the current title and applicable registered instruments, easements, caveats, liens, encumbrances and plans with qualified legal advice.
Question 4Inspection scope
Set inspection scope from the property's actual age, construction type, systems, renovations, site and known disclosures; a community profile is not a property inspection.
Comparison worksheetClassify, locate and document.
Step 1Classify
Place the property within luxury detached homes, Townhomes and attached residences, and apartment condominiums before selecting the first comparable.
Step 2Locate
Read the site in relation to planned public spaces, inner-city southwest access, and nearby services and institutions, then verify the actual distance, access or status.
Step 3Document
Resolve condo and homeowners-association documents, builder and warranty records, and Phase and future-development context with the current title, municipal record, corporation document or appropriate specialist.
Comparison discipline
Community context narrows the questions. It does not answer them for the house.

Complete housing evidence packFive layers behind the Currie Barracks comparison.
Layer 1Dwelling forms
- Apartments in buildings with fewer than five storeys: 190 occupied private dwellings (33%) in the 2021 Census profile.
- Single-detached house: 180 occupied private dwellings (32%) in the 2021 Census profile.
- Row house: 100 occupied private dwellings (18%) in the 2021 Census profile.
- Other single-attached house: 65 occupied private dwellings (11%) in the 2021 Census profile.
- Semi-detached house: 30 occupied private dwellings (5%) in the 2021 Census profile.
- Apartment or flat in a duplex: 10 occupied private dwellings (2%) in the 2021 Census profile.
Layer 2Construction periods
- 2016 to 2021: 300 occupied private dwellings (53%); use this as historical community context, not the age of a listing.
- 2011 to 2015: 250 occupied private dwellings (44%); use this as historical community context, not the age of a listing.
- 2001 to 2010: 20 occupied private dwellings (4%); use this as historical community context, not the age of a listing.
Layer 3Lot and site questions
- Compare the exact Currie Barracks parcel for dimensions, orientation, grade, access, easements and neighbouring context; the community profile does not describe those property-level attributes.
- Review the survey or real property report, current land-use record and title before making a redevelopment, parking, access or boundary assumption.
Layer 4Renovation and redevelopment
- Match the inspection and document plan to the subject property's actual construction, additions and effective age rather than the community's largest Census-era cohort.
- Ask for permits, plans, warranties, invoices and material-renovation records where applicable, then distinguish documented work from cosmetic presentation.
Layer 5Condominium or association context
- For any condominium or managed-property form, review the corporation or association documents, insurance, financials, reserve planning, rules, parking, storage and unit obligations.
