Urban living in Edmonton

[urbanroo]

Yes, I'm finding that there are very few 3-bedroom units available, and that is what we would need if we were to have a second child. We don't need a McMansion, far from it, but most of the new units being thrown up right now seem to be designed for singles or young couples and are in the 800 square foot range. Another thing that worries me with young children is balconies on high rises. We are therefore trying to limit our search to low-rise buildings. This and the restriction so many buildings have against children is making the search very difficult, though not impossible as we do have leads. I agree that dense row-houses especially in the Oliver area would be ideal.

Does anyone know why so many (I'd say it's close to half, but that's just a guess) buildings have age restrictions? I really don't understand it. Is this unique to Edmonton? (I haven't encountered it before, not to this extent, certainly).
