I think this has been discussed in this thread before. But I would honestly rethink what you posted. Off-hand, I can think of at least 6 new high rises (not counting the ones I'm not aware of) that are already or will be constructed. Once they're all up and running, traffic in the area will be unbearable simply because that area's not designed for that many people.

Unless you're married, stay renting. And before you even think about taking the plunge, realize that finances play a huge role in marriage. Make sure your financial goals are aligned beforehand.
