People who live in downtown business districts in Canada’s largest cities generally pay less per-square foot than people in cities around the world and enjoy shorter daily commutes to work, according to a recent survey done on first-time home buyers by CENTURY 21. / K, r: \5 n) T5 `& `1 C2 L

George Bamber, owner of a Calgary-based Century 21 said it’s a sign of a city maturing and becoming more like Vancouver or Toronto where downtown is a place where people live and work.“You just get more real estate for your money outside of downtown,” he said.

In Calgary, a typical first-time buyer would choose a one-bedroom, one-bath 500-sq. ft. apartment in Mission or Connaught priced at about $250,000 and a 10-minute drive or 20-minute walk to the downtown business core and the Calgary Tower.

不是真的吧。我朋友在纽约,他说他买不起房子,他住公寓,房租一个月2800美刀,不过据说很奢侈。比起来,爱民顿还是很便宜的,不过可能占工资的比例就比较高。我朋友两口子年收入税后将近30万。
