Strata fees and what's included
At first glance, the strata fees at The Strand may look higher than some condo communities. What makes this complex different is how many core living expenses are already included. For many owners, the strata works like a resort-style, all-inclusive model, which simplifies ownership and cuts down the number of separate bills each month.
Utilities and services included
- Natural gas for heating and fireplaces
- Water and sewer
- Garbage and recycling collection
- Snow removal throughout the property
- Landscaping and grounds maintenance
- Building maintenance and exterior upkeep
Not included: cable TV, internet and hydro. Each owner sets up and pays for their own. (Many Strand rentals include cable, internet and hydro in the rent, so compare carefully if you rent before you buy.)
Amenities included
- Outdoor swimming pool
- Hot tub
- Private sandy beach on Okanagan Lake
- Landscaped courtyard areas
- Community gathering spaces
- Strand marina access (slips available separately)
Parking and building features
- Heated underground parking garage
- Secure building access
- Professionally maintained common areas
- Well-managed strata community
The value perspective
Because so many services and amenities are bundled into the fees, owners often find the overall cost of ownership compares well once separate costs like gas, water and sewer, snow removal and property maintenance are counted.
The result is a low-maintenance, lock-and-leave lifestyle that lets owners enjoy the lakefront instead of managing a long list of household services.
