As a realtor in Vancouver, I often get asked by clients what they should look for in a condo. With so many options available, finding the perfect condo can be a daunting task. However, here are some essential factors to consider that will help you make an informed decision.
1. South Facing Units: Sunshine All Day, All Year
One of the first things to consider when looking for a condo is its orientation. South facing units are highly sought after for a good reason. These units receive sunlight throughout the entire day, making your living spaces bright and inviting. What's more, in Vancouver's mild climate, you'll enjoy the sun's warmth in all four seasons.
2. Embrace the Coolness of High Rise Condos
Another important aspect to consider is the type of building. High rise condos, with their concrete frames, tend to be cooler year-round compared to low to mid-rise condos. This can be particularly beneficial during Vancouver's warm summer months when cooler indoor temperatures provide a welcome respite.
3. The Higher, The Warmer: Heat Rises
If warmth is a priority for you, consider choosing a unit on a higher floor. Heat naturally rises, which means higher floors tend to be warmer. So if you enjoy cozy living spaces, opting for a condo with a higher elevation could be a smart move.
