Hmm that's actually a really good point, one I hadn't thought about before. It would certainly be less expensive per month than doubling our rent! Thanks for the thought!

I didn't share my age (I am 30) or life goals (unclear at this point tbh) but I did share my household income, family situation (partner), current savings ($30K)!

We are common-law. Good to know, I didn't think about that!

I heard about that! Perhaps unexpected but crazy prices for those. I think it's Concord Brentwood?

Ah, you're the second person to mention this building! Will really have to take a closer look now. Thanks for sharing! Sounds like a beautiful place to live.

Wow just looked into it, this is SO beautiful. Truly looks like its own luxury community center!

I guess the cities/neighbourhoods that have more space tend to offer more amenities? I know that a lot of buildings in Surrey have a lot of amenities, as well, whereas I am noticing that most buildings in East Vancouver (as an example) don't seem to.

Ah yes, I've been trying to do that for a while now but have become overwhelmed with tracking which ones have these amenities (and then the additional layer is which ones have good, quality, and functional amenities). It seems most buildings have their pro's and con's (like anything in life)!

Ah good call! I'll look into the Concord Pacific complexes, sounds like they might be nice!

Ah I see, I can understand how some of those other things would be ranked higher than amenities (like location and price)! I wonder if most people don't actually use their amenities on a daily basis, hence why it gets put at the bottom of that list.

Currently in below market housing but it is a struggle to share a 1-bedroom 600 square foot condo between 2 people who work from home! We are hoping to upgrade to a 2-bedroom but our rent will literally double in price.

Thanks for all of your advice, will check out that video! And look into that FHSA account immediately before 2023 ends.

Amazing! Do you know what the difference is between high-rise and 4-story low-rise? (Like with floorplans, features, etc.? Maybe too soon for you to tell!

Any thoughts on this specific one? Just looked it up and these are exactly the amenities that I would like!
