Garibaldi Estates
Squamish's most affordable condo cluster — requires careful building-level diligence.
Garibaldi Estates includes some of the most affordable condos in Squamish — but that affordability comes with a reason. Much of the stock dates from the late 1980s to mid-1990s, which is prime leaky condo era. Several buildings on Willow Crescent are known problem buildings. The price points are genuinely low relative to market, which can look attractive. The key question is whether the strata has addressed envelope issues, whether special levies are pending, and what the depreciation report says. Some buildings have been remediated and are fine. Others haven't.
⚠️ Risk flag: Multiple buildings are known leaky condo era problem buildings (pre-1996)
Best suited for: Only for risk-aware buyers who have done full building-level due diligence. Not recommended as a first property unless you have expert strata/building guidance.
Market note: Headline pricing is cheap. Total cost of ownership (potential levy risk + repairs) can be much higher. Discount pricing reflects real underlying risk, not an overlooked deal.
