Glen Abbey townhouses for sale

Townhouses in Glen Abbey are mostly condominium enclaves built in the 1980s, tucked off Dorval Drive, Nottinghill Gate, Pilgrims Way and Upper Middle Road, with private lanes, visitor parking and a monthly fee that pays for the roads, exterior maintenance and sometimes the roof and windows. Units tend to be three bedrooms above a single garage with a small fenced yard, and end units and those backing green space are the ones people wait for. A smaller number of freehold rows exist, usually along the collector roads, where the owner carries every repair. The buyers are first-timers chasing the Glen Abbey schools without the detached price, downsizers leaving a house nearby, and parents purchasing for grown children. Before an offer, obtain the status certificate, have a lawyer go over the reserve fund, ask what the corporation has replaced recently, and confirm parking, pet and rental rules, because 1980s complexes vary widely in how well they have been maintained.
