What it takes to own this

The tools we build on top of the listing, each figure sourced and none of it PropTx data: what the house really costs to hold, what it costs to borrow against, and the inspection to book before your conditions come off.

Second dwelling

The listing does not say whether there is a second dwelling unit here. Other records in this set state it either way, so this is a silence rather than a no.

What comes from PropTx, and what is ours

The price, address, room and size figures, description and days on site are sourced from PropTx and can lag the live listing. The map placement and the cost, offer, insurance and rental tools below are our own work, not PropTx data. Anything we have modelled rather than sourced carries an Est. tag.

Position your business in one of St. Catharines' busiest commercial corridors with this 1,150 square foot retail opportunity at 286 Lake Street. Currently occupied by First Choice Haircutters, the unit offers a functional open-concept retail layout complemented by a rear storage area, private office, and 2-piece washroom. Situated within a well-established neighbourhood plaza at the high-traffic intersection of Lake Street and Scott Street, the property benefits from excellent visibility, strong daily consumer traffic, and convenient access. Co-tenants include a mix of service and food-oriented businesses including Vapor Shoppe, Pizza Hut, and Tacoz Treatz, creating consistent draw to the plaza. Pylon signage opportunities further enhance exposure for incoming tenants. A wide range of permitted retail and service commercial uses make this an ideal opportunity for retail, personal service, office, or specialty food users seeking an established north-end location.

Written by the listing brokerage to sell the house. Nothing in it is verified, so take its claims about condition to an inspection, not from it.

Your costs, and the tools we build on it

None of this is PropTx data. Each figure is our own and carries its source: the true cost to own, the mortgage studio, the inspection plan, and the rest.

How this price compares

Two figures stand against this house for two different purposes, the asking price and the assessment, so they do not agree and were never meant to. The gap is worked out here rather than left for you to hold in your head.
