Downtown

Comparing downtown addresses

For a downtown condo, test the trip between the building entrance and your everyday destinations. Check the unit’s exposure, elevator access, parking arrangements, and visitor access separately. An address that suits an office commute may feel different on evenings and weekends, so include both in your visit.

Compare weekday and evening activity, views, building amenities, and commute options.

Start with your day-to-day routine: your commute, grocery stops, outdoor space, and where you like to spend time. Then compare the buildings and units that fit.

Look beyond the unit.

Ask about condo fees and inclusions, parking, storage, maintenance, and building rules. Your agent and lawyer can help identify the documents and questions relevant to a purchase.
