PROS
- Our own terrace
- Pool
- Cardio room & studios
- Bowling alley
- Theatre
- Need a place for next year anyway and it's better than looking for another apartment
- Right by the lakeshore & the bike/running path that goes along it
- Cool/interesting neighbourhood
- Close enough to the city that it's not a long commute to school, but it's not right in the city (less busy)
- Lake views from the terrace, garden views from the rooms
- Laundry in the suite
- Close to grocery, bank
- 2 full bathrooms
- Garden/common outdoor space
- Bigger room and closet
- Hot tubs
- Games room, pool tables
- Wifi in shared spaces if I want to have another place to do work
- Rooftop terrace- lake view
- Suite comes with fireplace, all appliances, blinds, etc
- Access to guest suites
- Basically living in a hotel
- Don't have much tying me to that town anyway; I only go home to visit my family, not like we're leaving the house we grew up in
CONS
- Possibly not enough rooms for when the fam joins
- Further from school than our place now & would have to take the streetcar (added expense of ttc pass, need for work anyway). Although we def wouldn't find a place close to school for our renting price range anyway.
- Parents would have house and condo payments for a while
- We'd have to sell our house in about a year
- Would have to go through all our stuff at the house and get rid of it bc no space to keep it; although that's prob a good thing
- Suite could be noisy (at least on terrace) bc close to highway/railway
