Summer’s here. Long sunny days, barbeques with friends and family, vacations at the cottage: let the good

times roll. But with the skyrocketing price of real estate, owning a primary residence is challenging enough for many, which means owning a detached vacation cabin is sheer fantasy.

So will the recreational condo replace the traditional family cabin? Most real estate insiders say that it won’t, but that it may evolve as a new hybrid that’s part vacation getaway, part revenue property, and partly a way to transition into retirement.

A condo’s biggest advantage is, hardly surprisingly, aff ordability. It’s also as close to maintenance free as you’re likely to fi nd – strata fees pay for most things outside our own suite. As a bonus, you might get some fancy amenities such as pools or rooftop gardens.

On the “cons” side, you’re going to be close to your neighbours – just like you are at home if you live in an urban centre. With 94 per cent of respondents in Re/Max’s 2016 Recreational Property Report

stating that a quiet, tranquil atmosphere is key to their purchase decision, this proximity translates into a major deterrent.

Then there’s the tricky question of condo zoning and bylaws. “The average person who wants to purchase a vacation home is almost certainly going to rent it out at least part of the time, because it’s the only way they can aff ord one,” says Anthony Bastiaanssen from Re/Max Kelowna. Tapping into online booking services like AirBnB has made this far easier than it used to be. However, most strata bylaws and many municipal zoning regulations prohibit short-term rentals – some prohibit rentals of any kind.

The Whistler ExceptionOne notable exception is Whistler. In

this year-round, outdoor lover’s paradise, a majority of homes must be rented – although specifi cs of those regulations vary dramatically. “If your home has Phase One zoning, you live there full time or rent

it out for whatever time period you want – daily, weekly or longer,”

says James Askew, president of rareEarth Project

Marketing. “The only thing you can’t do is leave it empty.” Phase Two zoning, also known somewhat infamously as condo hotels, is even more restrictive. “You can only use your property for 28 days in summer and winter, and the rest of the time it must be rented out through the hotel’s management program.”

Okanagan OptionsIn the Okanagan, Bastiaanssen notes

there are also still aff ordable condo properties to be found in most areas outside Kelowna, but there’s defi nitely increasing upward pressure on the bottom line – meaning buyers need to grab a deal when they see it.

He also sees a growing trend among mature but still-working buyers. “These people are looking ahead to when they

move to the Okanagan full time. They want

to park their money – and

perhaps earn

some rental revenue when they aren’t using it themselves – for when they retire.”

Island LifeIn the quest for a vacation condo,

Vancouver Island has become something of an oddity. True, Victoria’s condo market is booming as Metro Vancouverites cash out the equity in their home and escape to a more aff ordable (at least for now) setting. But like the rest of the Island, the point is these people are moving… packing up lock, stock and barrel and making a new life in a new full-time home, not using it as a weekend getaway.

Looking ahead, despite the challenges, those who fl ex their vacation-home-buying muscles in the condo market will most likely do no worse than make an investment that appreciates over time, brings pleasure now, and could become a new lifestyle in retirement. Not such a bad thing, all round.

Looking for a newhome? Start here.

There’s a real transformation going on in Marpole. This enclave is set to become yet another desirable

neighbourhood in the red-hot Vancouver Westside market. This is where Alabaster Homes is developing its newest town-home project – Oak + Park.

“Marpole is Vancouver’s next pres-tigious neighbourhood,” says Yosh Kasahara, director of sales and market-ing at Alabaster Homes. “Its Westside location, top-ranked schools, and prox-imity to Richmond and YVR (Vancouver International Airport) make it the perfect place to invest and live.”

The collection of 40 open-concept homes, ranging from 1,300 to 1,600 square feet, feature air-conditioning, quartz countertops, premium stainless-steel appliances, wide-plank hardwood fl oors, as well as heated ensuite fl ooring.

The stylish exteriors feature extensive use of traditional white brickwork and distinctive black metal detailing, making these homes stand out. Designed by the multiple-award-winning fi rm of Ciccozzi Architecture, Oak + Park is a fusion of classic design and contemporary West Coast elements.

“This is a fl agship project for Alabaster Homes. Our vision for Oak + Park is to deliver a project that raises the bar for new townhomes in the city,” he adds.

The three-bedroom-plus-den-and-fl ex residences are located within the catch-ment of some of the city’s most pres-tigious schools, including David Lloyd George Elementary and Sir Winston Churchill Secondary – an International Baccalaureate (IB) school.

“The IB school was a big draw for buyers at our last two projects,” adds Kasahara. “These parents want to give their children the best opportunities, and the program at Churchill Secondary is among the best in the country.”

Bounded by Oakridge to the north and Richmond to the south, Oak + Park is well situated, close to Marpole Town Centre, which is known for its eclectic blend of shops and amenities. It is minutes to the Canada Line and transit, and the new facilities at Cambie and Marine Drive, which includes a T&T Grocery Store, Cineplex movie theatres, and more.

For sports enthusiasts, Oak + Park is a short distance from the Oakridge-Marpole Community Centre located at
