Seems a little too communal for my taste. I didn't live in a dorm for the same reason.

Do any of the condo dwellers here actually use the shit they pay for?

My sister lives in Yaletown, and she actually uses a lot the amenities: pool, hot tub, gym, squash court, etc. The media room use is by reservation.

The Richmond one shown in the previous posts looks like it's stacked with amenities, but the maintenance/strata fee must be sky-high to support all that, unless they have a shit load of tenants to mitigate the cost.

I live in a low-rise condo in Langley. All we have is a clubhouse that has a rec room, media room, meeting room, and small gym. I don't use any of it.
