This is a studio condo that is definitely classified as a micro-condo 352 square feet with 52 feet balcony. I think the layout is pretty awesome for such a small space as it is rectangular and no wasted space. Although many on the board will probably have their issues with such small condos...

I think it would be interesting if there was a site where we could all look at these VIP price sales and compare them to each other to see if there are good deals out there instead of this veil of secrecy...as it stands, most sites you will have to leave all your personal information and likely...

It is pretty obvious that bedrooms are getting smaller and smaller in these new builds. Is there a standard size of a master bedroom and a second bedroom? It seems that once you put a queen size bed even into a master these days, you have not much room left to even walk around. Seems that...

Looking at a floorplan for two story townhome. How much square footage is typical for a staircase? I have heard anything from 100 to 200 square feet! I think that would eat up into a big chunk of the overall square footage provided, for example if it is a 1000 square foot townhome, that would...

I just bought a condo and wanted to put in a security system, and have no ideas where to start. It is a townhouse style condo so it doesn't have the typical concierge and I'm on the ground floor. I've done some searching on Google and it seems like there are an endless array of security...

I couldn't scan this in properly before I hope that I can get some opinions on this unit. Thanks!

I've been trying to do some research to finally understand this rebate situation, I see most sites say that buying a new home over 500K is INELIGIBLE for the HST rebate but other sites (fewer) saying that they can apply for the rebate but only up to a maximum of 24K. Can someone please clarify...

The general rule is that condos that are higher up are more expensive, better views, but why is it that southern exposures tend to be more expensive as well? Is it because there are views of the CN tower and the lake? Seems that only works if you are high up anyways. I also heard that...

All talk aside from the condo bubble, where are the best deals to be had in the presale condo and townhouse scene? Downtown seems very steep at 500/square foot and up to 800 in the "luxury" segment. Do you go out into the suburbs? Seems like even there, 300 to 400/square foot is commonplace...

I have an opportunity to buy a townhouse condo for about 400/square feet in this area. I'm getting a huge amount of criticism because Regent Park is such a nasty place with violence, drugs, etc, but this area is undergoing revitalization and the buildings are quite decent. They are built by...

Not sure if this is the correct forum but I thought I'd ask people on the forum whether they have much experience looking at floorplans for pre-builds. I bought a townhouse at Concord Park Place in North York, 1500 square feet. I actually posted the plan last October for opinions. Main...

Hey guys, finally was able to scan the plan for my townhome and I love the critiques on this board so far. By all means be honest and I appreciate any opinions you can give me. Thanks so much, I really enjoy all of your posts. I'm sorry I could only get it in JPG file and the dimensions of...

Hey guys, I love how there are so many people willing to give their honest opinions on floorplan layouts. I cannot seem to find my layout on line but will have my layout scanned for your opinions. In the meantime, I was wondering if anyone could give an opinion on sizes of my two floor...

I just put a deposit on a unit and it said it had 9 foot ceilings. I know that a lot of people make a big deal about this. I've never had anything but standard (I'm assuming 8 foot) ceilings. Does it really make that much of a difference in the feel of a room? And how important is it a...

I apologize in advance to the moderator if I've created a new thread when I am not supposed to. Please let me know and I will move it, the main thread seems to talk more about the site development. I have put a deposit on a unit in Discovery 1 and the development has been going on for over 2...

Thinking of buying my first place, I've ruled out the detached home as I'm single and don't need all that space and the hassles of maintaining the property. I'm between the age old debate of townhouse vs condo. Some points I've thought about: - two floors will give me that home feel without...
