Condo Directory Mission Hamilton

230 on 21 Avenue SW

There are 21 lucky homeowners in this three-storey walk-up 1959 frame building that has one of Calgary's premier river-side locations. With not even a walking path between it and the Elbow River, east-facing residents of the Hamilton could fish off their balconies! Everyone else would only have to step out the door and walk 15 paces to the river, and to the footbridge across to Lindsay Park and its sports/aquatic centre.

Converted to condos in 1996, the builder put in all new windows, added balconies and the entry portico with pillars, which add a touch of class, although woodpeckers seem to nibble at them. Suites were all upgraded, and several have natural-gas fireplaces. The suites here are all large, even though several are one-bedroom layouts. The smallest is 904 square feet, but most are 1,050 or a bit larger, and more than half are corner suites.

All parking is outdoors, and these folks opted out of having commonly-owned windows and doors, so if a new patio slider or window is needed, it's at each homeowner's own cost. But then, condo fees are a bit lower because the corporation doesn't need to save up for those items, so 'six of one, half a dozen of the other, eh? I have the Condo Plan on file.
