Start with the building where the inventory concentrates. Inspire holds 15 of the active listings, more than any other single address in West Central, and the median strata fee across the neighbourhood runs $387. If a condo is your band, pull the full list at Inspire and compare the units side by side before you tour anything. New construction makes up 21. 3 percent of what is active, so ask whether you want warranty coverage or a resale price. Sort your search by the band you settled on. Then book showings on three listings in it. Seeing the range in person tells you faster than any number what your money buys here.
