Dunbar presents a premium housing market, with a median asking price of $2,722,500 and a price per square foot of $1144; properties remain on the market for 96 days, offering buyers time to consider. Daily errands are manageable with a walkability score of 66, complemented by 10 schools within walking distance, 30 parks and green spaces, 13 restaurants, 4 cafés, and 3 grocers nearby. However, a transit score of 48 means only 2 of 5 metro destinations are reachable without changing vehicles, suggesting greater reliance on personal transport for wider city access. For potential investors, the median monthly rent of $2,900 yields a gross rental return of 1.3, with 10 homes for sale appearing suite-capable.
