Yup.

Anything with an elevator is a bad investment. Especially over 5 years old and builder has down offloading all the units and warranty ran out.

Then it's Special Assessment time!

The only cheap condo living is renting. Owning is pretty risky.

lol yup. definitely risky. i would opt for a nice townhouse my next purchase.

Interested in a town house as well, been looking at some real cheap cozy looking new ones. Only thing I'm unsure about is they also have a "condo fee" attached.

Look into details as to what it covers.
Sometimes it'll only be lawn mowing and shoveling, sometimes it goes all the way to covering all exterior stuff from siding to windows and/or doors.

Also, look into reserve fund and that if that townhouse complex has apartments units attached.

Lighthouse Landing in Conventry and that tiny townhouse complex across from NW T&T both had major problem with the apartment complexes and the repair cost is being distributed to townhouse owners.

Some directors of condo board at Lighthouse was getting threats as townhouse owners were guaranteed that the apartments and townhouses operates separately.

As long as townhouse are just townhouse, damages are limited. Attached to anything with multistories, sky is the limit.

just looking to discuss
feel free to share any information if you heard of anything or know of anyone that lives in these condos.

Condos are always hit n miss with the fees like do they have proper reserve fund in place etc... and if its a new build like the overture are there problems? bad heating or bad water pressure, or poorly built things like that?

I'm curios as to what you guys think has more value as being downtown vs currie barracks ?

Where did you end up buying? @bowsth

Currie is one of the most over priced community in my opinion..If your going to spend that much buy a town home in Marda loop

www.rndsqr.ca or any other like this

I would be happy to have a coffee with you to explore your options
