The home at 7765 St. Dennis Place in College Heights, assessed at $1.732 million dollars comes in at number three in the north as an acreage in Ft. St. John, assessed at $3.184 million is number one, and an acreage in Dawson Creek pegged at $2.455 million is in second place.
The other P.G. home to crack the top ten is on Chief Lake Road. It is valued at $1.615 million.
Only 7 other homes in Prince George make the top ten, and they are ranked between #35 and 100.
In fact, most of the top 100 properties in the north are in Ft.St. John.

House went up a huge $1,000.
Wait until Ozcan’s house is done, he’s into it for more than 3.5 Million at this point. Rustad’s house in St Dennis is quite nice, but that lot is probably worth 350k, it’s the nicest neighborhood in town in my mind.
House went up 10,200 here, no rhyme or reason. Lot went down and house went up
