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
