Frank on Yaletown

Almost everything on the market is an apartment, with over two hundred condos averaging under a thousand square feet and very few three-bedroom layouts. Asking prices sit close to a million dollars, which suits buyers looking for compact strata living. Most buildings date to around 2002, with some from the late 1980s, and monthly strata fees run around $740. I suggest checking the depreciation report for upcoming levies and confirming exactly what those fees cover.
