It is interesting to see what kind of a home you can buy in downtown Vancouver compared to a suburban community like White Rock.
So I asked went on Realtor dot ca to find two homes to compare, one with a nice view in downtown Vancouver and the other with an equally nice view in White Rock.
Here are the two places I came up with.
For $395,000 you can have a one bedroom and den condo home that is 483 square feet. It is west of Denman in the Lord Stanley building. The view is of Burrard Inlet & the marina.
Compare that home to the White Rock home which has unobstructed views of the ocean for $399,000 and 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. You can relax while watching the sunsets from the full length balcony.
Both the Vancouver and White Rock condos have one parking spot.
Which one would you choose? For similar money you get 483 square feet on the door step of Vancouver’s Stanley Park or 1100+ square feet in White Rock.
White Rock or downtown Vancouver?
*Just in case you are interested in these homes, the MLS number for the White Rock home is F1305530 and the MLS number for the Vancouver condo is V1003000.
