In the last decade, Mount Pleasant suffered a few changes to the real estate market, one of them being the new development of townhouses, mid-rise and low-rise buildings called condos. A condo can be a better option for single families for a few main reasons.

The first reason is that condo prices in Mt Pleasant are very affordable, so much so that their prices are even lower than the price of an apartment for example. The average price for a condo in Mt Pleasant can be around $600.000, which is $3 million less than the average price of a single-family house.

The buying price is lower, but don't forget that the living cost is still pretty high since it's still Vancouver real estate that we're talking about.

Another reason why condos are a good option, not only in Mount Pleasant but in any other Vancouver neighborhood, is the services and amenities that you can benefit from. First of all, you get the full ownership of your condo and you have the ability to do whatever you want to the interior of it, unlike the apartments where you first have to talk to the administrator and the neighbors.

Second of all, the services that are usually included in a condo community are access to a swimming pool, access to a private gym, common shared spaces like a big lounge area, a parking spot or a garage, kids playground area, and so on.
