Hi guys,
What do you think of the Library District vs. Carmelina condos? My girlfriend and I are looking to purchase a place for the first time, and these seem like the two that we would decide between. We've been looking a lot at LD so far, and it seems pretty good to us, but we're a bit concerned with it being near-ish the edge of our affordability, at least if we get a parking spot with a suite. We just looked up Carmelina the other day though, and it looks like it would be alot cheaper, and right next to a subway station. We don't know much about the building yet, aside from that it looks ok and some of the floor plans are ok as well.
My (personal) biggest interest is a place that's got good investment potential to go up in value in the 5 years or so we plan on living there for. Otherwise, proximity to downtown (as my girlfriend works there), TTC access closeby, a highway nearby, and a of course the building being good quality, are all things we were hoping to get. We've recently been pretty close to deciding to buy a place at LD, but my girlfriend seems to be getting cold feet a bit and worrying about price and maybe getting a place that's more halfway between downtown and Scarborough (where we currently live). To me LD seems like the much better place investment-wise, but then I don't know much about this stuff so I could be horribly wrong.
