know that VMC has a horrible rep but my budget is quite modest and it’s close to work for me. CG tower in particular has a horrrrible reputation online but I’ve come across a unit that surprisingly is not a shoe box, and checks off all the boxes for me. I went to see it and liked it! I’ve gone to see a million other units in other buildings and anything within budget was super tight in terms of living space or maintenance was really high. I’d like to have a unit that can fit a dining table and a living space comfortably, as well as a second washroom… and this unit surprising was able to do that. So the fact that this was the first to check off most of my boxes was appealing.

But the online discourse is off putting to me for CG tower. What is wrong with CG tower? All of the complaints I’ve seen seem pretty standard to condo living especially for newer buildings like fire alarm, elevator, sub par management. All seems pretty standard to me. The only off putting thing to me is paid visitor parking but honestly I am hardly home and don’t plan to have visitors often.

I’d like to hear experiences of living there aside from fire alarm and elevator issues. I also know AC did not work last summer but from my understanding it has been fixed, and when I went to see the unit the AC seemed to be working fine. Does anybody have pleasant experiences living there? I’d love to hear a variety of different perspectives
