Half the market is condos, and buildings like Oakwood, La Mirage, and Sussex each hold multiple active units. If you want a single-bedroom place, 14 of those are listed, with a median of $538,500 and the same strata obligation folded in. The carrying cost math is straightforward. A condo near the $699,900 median, the $459 fee, property tax, and your financing set the monthly number. Space is the trade. At $770 per square foot, square footage comes at a premium, which is why the 1,160 median reads tight next to the detached homes at the top of the range. Know what you need before you shop. A one-bedroom and a five-bedroom both exist here, and the gap between them is real.

Start by picking your price band, because the 86 listings split into clear tiers. Thirty homes sit under $750,000, almost all of them condos. Another 24 land between $1. 5M and $2. 5M, mostly detached and half duplex. Twelve new listings arrived in the last 30 days, so inventory turns. Decide which band your budget actually reaches, then book viewings in two or three of the named buildings, Oakwood, La Mirage, or Sussex, where multiple units are active right now. Walk the one-bedroom at $538,500 and the three-bedroom at $1,218,500 back to back. The difference in square footage will tell you more than any listing photo. Then shortlist. The market gives you options at every level here.
