$260 as of July 1st. We take possession on the 29th, already sold most of our old furniture so it should be a simple move. As per your comments on the building - I hear you. I'd much prefer to just have a concerige and avoid the future strata inflation that comes with ammenitines we'll rarely if ever use. Pools are a big one that developments should avoid.
The building I currently live in is around 20 years old and the elevators are always giving problems. But it's usually because idiots are constantly moving in/out without booking. IE holding the door manually instead of getting the concierge to lock it.
As for 5515 Boundary, one thing my inspector mentioned was upgrading the hoses to the washer. He said they are cheap and will likely expand and burst resulting in a floor/water damage. Definitely the first thing I'm tending to after moving in. That and insurance - because God knows how many idiots can't cook or measure laundry detergent.
Seems like a nice area though. Close to the sky train and metro town. There's a nice park and I see lots of people walking their dogs as well as families in the playground. Also couldn't help but notice the number of modified cars. There's a clean white mr2 turbo in the garage and saw a bunch of STIs, m3, 335 even a 507 edition c63 coupe.
