Who Adobe Sands Is For

Single-level living in a 55+ building

Adobe Sands suits buyers aged 55 and over who want easy, low-maintenance, single-level living close to downtown Osoyoos. The Unit 101A listing describes a ground-floor home with its own enclosed sunroom or patio, covered parking and a storage unit.

It is also a 1992 building, so ask what has been replaced and what is coming. Roofs, windows, plumbing and electrical can be near replacement age, and the strata's depreciation report and reserve fund show how that is planned for.

A buyer under 55 can own in a 55+ strata but may not live there unless an exemption applies. Read the bylaw before you decide.
