    真係睇吓應唔應聲囉，如果買pre-sale就當然唔好搏啦，梗係面向另一面隔２０層樓啦。

但係你要住旺區其實好多balcony都好細／冇乜privacy，你都未必會好enjoy。

Renfrew / Rupert station??  There isn't any highrise or condo around these two stations bor.  Unless you're suggestion to rent a basement of a house.

If you're interested, go to the new highrise next to Holdom station and have a look.  Their balconies are big enough to hose 3 MJ tables with excellent privacy.  That's what my wife said she will play MJ at the balcony if we purchase that place.  LOL.

I'm just stating my personal preference and I'm not trying to convince anyone to follow that.  Each of us have preference of their own anyhow.

A highrise beside the skytrain, but on the side facing away from the skytrain should be okay? would that still be bad from skytrain noise + lougheed noise?

Actually, might also need to consider if hwy 1 is any close if it's Holdom you are talking about.

Otherwise I see a few for the 3/4 stories high apartment just directly east of Brentwood. Asking for about $1300+/mo. Those looks pretty new and looks pretty nice. Walking distance (< 5 min?) to Brentwood and Skytrain, not that i'll skytrain to work, as commute time would be more than double compared to driving (driving probably 10 min, walk + wait for skytrain + skytrain + bus/walk up Production would be like 30 min?). Gas cost is limited when driving distance is that short anyways. Not like I'll sell my car so will still be driving. Skytrain is more for DT drinking and taxi back.

You mean the Varley (East of Brentwood along Lougheed)?  I have a friend lives there.

I think it's Varley. not 100% sure tho. Just briefly looking. Not planning to start renting till early 2013.

What's ur friend's comment on that place?

lots of redevelopment nearing Hastings, i kinda like the new houses on Strathcona, very trendy.

Wood structure.  If you're a quiet person, better stay on the top floor.  Visitor parking sucks, I could tell u.  And that Beta Ave is steep.  Lots of Chinese.  My friend and her husband (non-Chinese) love that place.  If I remember, their rent was $1200, that was ~4 (or maybe 5) years ago when the building just finished.

From what I saw, the layout was just like any apartment finished in the last 5 years.  Getting smaller and smaller in everything.  They are on a 2-bedrooms, but the 2nd bedroom wasn't big at all.

Those facing Lougheed are pretty close and at the same level to the skytrain track.

    Hastings都唔差㗎，不過返downtown就好囉，可以搭巴士，如果唔係就冇skytrain。不過都好多嘢食，而且開多好多新嘢，係交通差啲！

我會買嚟租俾人，自己住就唔太方便啦。
