Is Joyce even worth living at anymore? Most of the buildings along the SkyTrain are now like 30-40 year old by now, you don't want the wood frame ones, the new builds are too small and too $$$, bad build quality and the SkyTrain intersection still is like ass.
I've also noticed that theres a bunch of sub $300 apartments up for sale in slurry but then the chance of getting shot weekly is not 0

There's still new stock getting built right at the station so it's all between 0-32 years - the oldest stuff kinda sucks cause it doesn't have in suite laundry.
What's wrong with the intersection? Other than not being great for cars it otherwise is very walkable, well lit, and safe.

There's always crashes, construction, bad roads. Yea but besides larger units I dunno if you're just getting yourself into a can of worms on a 20 year old building, which I assume you will live in for a few years getting into the 30y old, more needed repairs, maintenance fees continue to go up, lower appreciation cuz old.

Cambie corridor, if im not mistaken, house prices were X for the longest time, then they started developing into 4-6 story units, and those some houses EXPLODED in value | Only if you can sell it for a development. Otherwise nobody is gonna want to live there. Quote:

People who had a private yard have now become "the view" for a bunch of units staring down at them. Quote:
