Pros & Cons

University City Pros and Cons

From the building facts on this page. We don't publish owner reviews; ask us what recent buyers and the condo documents say.

Pros

  • About 204 m from Brentwood CTrain station, roughly a 3-minute walk.
  • Newer building (completed 2013), so major components are still early in their life.
  • Reported features include steps from Brentwood CTrain station, next to Brentwood Village Mall shopping, short walk to the University of Calgary.

Cons & what to check

  • Newer buildings have a shorter track record of fees and reserve fund planning to judge.
  • Each tower is its own condo corporation; with the university so close, ask about the share of rented units, and check fees and the reserve fund for the specific tower.
