Carnarvon Towers

My cousin used to live in this building for years It's clean and quiet concrete and his place was on the side facing the college so he didn't hear the skytrain The neighbors are mostly young professionals with a couple young families and retired people Everyone is quiet and friendly and they keep to themselves The place is pet friendly so if you've got a dog it's great The neighborhood is good Close to transit It's safe at night to walk around and there are security cameras along the route from skytrain Previous comments talked about the sketchy neighborhood people but they're not trouble makers There's an emergency shelter right next door but everyone I ever saw was friendly and respectful and thankful to have a safe place to stay Great building and apparently it's rainscreened well If I moved to New West I'd consider this place for sure

I have to agree with the last review building is a good building nice large suites and most importantly has been rainscreeened The big problem here is the location and there really is nothing you can do about that You know what they say location location location Usaully there are some positives or benefits to a location but in this case I don't see any The courthouse is nearby in the front of the building the skytrain runs past the back and there is a large alley in the back that always has pepole hanging out in it

The condo I visited was fine but I m not too sure about the location Skytrain is close but don't feel too safe Shady people walking around and night life close by

I had a freind that lived in this building a few years ago and was very impressed with the value The unit was a large 1 bedroom plus den 850 square feet and had a great view of the river Building had just been rainscreend so there were no forseable problems to come The problem here is that I was almost afraid to leave my car on the street in front of the buidling ar even worse behind it Also located right besdie Mugs Jugs which I would not consider a plus Also Skytrain ran right behind the buidling which just happened to pass by my freinds unit All in all though I still think it is an overall good value and good buidling
