LOCATION
Choosing Where You Live
1 Green neighbourhoods
Buy a home in a neighbourhood close to work, transit, shopping, community centres and other services.
2 Transit-oriented density (TOD)
New, compact, complete green neighbourhoods are being built with transit as their focus. Instead of owning a car, join a car share cooperative, take transit, cycle or walk.
3 Lower Cost Luxury
If it’s features such as a gym or pool you want, buy a strata unit with these amenities and share costs.
