Here's a wide scene:
I really don't like the newer buildings, the older ones are much better/nicer. I never hear my friend's neighbours and the common areas are in pretty good condition. I went to West One and was very disappointed with the common areas....quality was crappy, things were broken, the materials used looked cheap.I don't live in Cityplace ... but based on the several suites in several Cityplace buildings I've seen I was not impressed ... particularly with Neo/Montage, extremely utiliatarian/bare hallways with low ceilings, insufficient # of elevators (which are small), unit interior finishing is OK I suppose, the floor to ceiling windows are nice ... however many units have poorly laid out floorplans, and I read in other threads that residents report built quality and noise insulation issues
I've definitely heard a whole lot more negative feedback than positive, and I personally would not consider Cityplace as a 'potential' future home
Thanks for the input.
The units I am eyeballing are in 'The Gallery'. I like it because it's a smaller building so I wouldn't have to deal with much of the heavy traffic inside or the competition when trying to sell again numerous similar units.
I'm on the fence about this area. I am aware that the interiors may not be as high quality but it seems I may be able to snag a unit for a decent price and spruce it up a bit. Would this even be worth doing?
Bear in mind that most of the "feedback" you get on this particular forum is from people who don't actually live in cityplace. It's mainly from people who claim to have visited once, or who know a "friend of a friend" living there, etc etc. What I'm getting at is that it's mostly useless.
If you take a closer look, you'll find that the few of us here on UT who actually LIVE in cityplace love it. I use to refute some of these completely baseless comments... but I've realized it's not worth my time. I live in the units north of the tracks (apex/matrix) and without going into great detail (and derailing this thread), I find it overall quite excellent.
We're obviously walking distance to most of the downtown core (or a streetcar ride away), so I'm assuming you'll be commuting out west to mississauga or something? I actually have a couple of friends living around here who do that too, and traffic heading west is apparently just fine in the morning. A little worse coming back at night... but still not too bad, as you're going "against" traffic.
