Buyer tips
- Noise and activity are highest close to the main intersections—choose a quieter side street or higher floor if that’s a concern.
- Older towers may have larger suites but dated interiors; factor renovation costs into your budget.
- Transit is bus-based here; check routes to your nearest SkyTrain station (usually New West, Columbia or 22nd Street).
