I would kill for a flat, 2 car garage. I have 4 car garage which is on a slope so I have to park my car on the single car garage side, and there's still a slight slope I have to be careful with. Even with the lift up, I feel like I'm going to scrape the front.  | |

My neighbor has the same tracks, the concrete guys were smoking meth when they poured decades ago for sure.
They dont guide fuck all.
Next time you guys see this garage is going to be in the "what did you do to your house" thread.

Redflag deals post on Belvedere condos in Surrey 25% off sale. Lots more inventory nearing completion and lots of resale inventory. People that were expecting to flip these are going to have to hold and rent out or take a loss. https://forums.redflagdeals.com/squa...-2025-2763678/

I saw that too but they overpriced it in the beginning. 3xx sq for like $450? And they priced it back down to like $380? Which is around $1000sq

The ad says places as low as like 768/sq ft.
Still seems like that's what they should be for Surrey but I'm out of touch when it comes to pricing of the other burbs other than like burnaby or poco.

I've got enough parking to comfortably fit 7 cars on my property, but it's on an extreme slope - Donk's been to my place.. it's cursed.
I scrape the front lip getting in/out of the garage .. stock height. I rmb when one of the guys in Type R chat asked if I wanted to buy their body kit and I told them I would never make it in. Guy ended up visiting me with his work truck and was like... oh I see the problem LOL

It's funny how you start noticing even minor slopes when you have a low car. The Revuelto, even with the lift up, still scrapes so it's a pain to drive but no issues with the Urus lol.
The worst, though, is dealing with unpaved alleys plenty of those on the west side or speed bumps that the city places in front of garages.  | |

^drives me nuts. Friggin Vancouver, especially on the west side where you’re paying insane property taxes and housing money, all the roads are basically the same as 3rd world countries. . I’m sure even those guys probably have better roads than us.

So I came across a "dream house" for myself when we were house shopping, on the west side. House was absolutely perfect, 2 car garage and a parking pad next to it.
I went to check out the house, and my fucking god the alley was completely rutted.

I think Port Coquitlam particularly Citadel Heights is a bit of a hidden gem with lots young families and parks and green space and close to elementary schools and middle schools.
Houses and townhouses are 10% to 20% cheaper than Burnaby and Coquitlam and because it is right off the Mary Hill Bypass I can drive to downtown Vancouver when it is not rush hour in about 35 minutes. If I lived in Westwood Plateau or Burke Mountain I would probably have to add at least 15 or 20 minutes driving time to get to Vancouver. If I want to go to the Braid skytrain station I can walk 3 minutes to the bus stop and take a 30 minute bus ride to Braid.
I believe there is another revscene member that also lives in Citadel Heights.

A friend of mine moved to poco and I never would have known about how nice it was if he didn't. Beautiful house at probably 20% less than Burnaby, and it's way nicer than Burnaby as well. Seems like a great place to have a family.

I'm looking for something that's flush against the ceiling like that. Right now the garage door is mounted at 8' with extensions but the actual ceiling is 10'
I could lift up my car another 2' with that kind of door.
