The only complex in the city that I've heard has a lot of red flags is Junction Shop Lofts. Places like 145 Front St and the Kelley Sq Lofts are all supposed to be perfectly fine, just really fucking expensive.

Honestly if you're willing to pay that much, seriously consider buying a house or at least a condo.

That's fair. Our plan as of now is to save for the next couple of years then try to buy a house. Don't think we'd want to move up that timeline, but maybe settling for complexes isn't the move

Tbf there are certainly benefits to the big complexes - steady availability, low deposits, usually in good condition, pet friendly - so I wouldn't necessarily call it settling. But if you've got the time, maybe reach out to a realtor who can find what you're looking for at a better price.

If you don't mind me asking, what red flags have your heard about Junction?

Just a lot of reviews and comments saying the walls are super thin so it's noisy and cold and the management can be hit or miss.
