"A great building marred
by an intrusive strata"

Overall The Lagoons is a great building; well maintained, problem free, with a good mix of people. The location is fantastic with the river at your doorstep and Steveston village a 15 minute walk along the waterfront boardwalk. However, I fully concur with the previous poster's assessment of the strata council who suffer from bouts of megalomania. They, and their shill of a caretaker, tend to be overbearing, intrusive and difficult to deal with. It almost seems as if they take pleasure in levying fines for rather spurious offenses. In the quest to do so, security cameras have been put to dubious use on more than one occasion to monitor residents movements. It is really a shame as, otherwise, it's a fine building with some lovely neighbours. If you're the type of person who can deal with such a thing, it's a great place to live.

Maybe you keep breaking rules, that's why. Learn to be considerate and stop blaming others!

Do you care to offer any proof that the original poster has been inconsiderate or broken any rules? One can be critical of the direction a council takes in its enforcement without having been the target of said enforcement. There seem to be several consistent criticisms posted here that have been well-stated, only to be met with conjecture and insults. I'm more likely to believe the original posters having seen the response legitimate critique receives.

"Nice Condominium Complex"

I enjoy living here. It's been 3 years now. The building is clean and the garden is very nice. Since this building is a woodframe, some noise can be heard from neighbors. If you can tolerate some noise, you'll like living here. If not, move into a concrete building, which is noise proof.

"Good and Bad Living at
the Lagoons (Though More
Good Than Bad)"

Lovely condominium in Steveston South. Lagoons located at the back, with nice quiet road to walk to Steveston Village, or the newer development, London Station. Problem free building, in like new condition despite built in 1998.Cons:Overzealous strata council will send of warning letters even for minisule matters. Gerry,a council member,lacks diplomacy and tact. She's peeved off a handful of owners with her letters. Overall, best strategy for new owner: stay clear of building politics and cliques (reminds me of high school) and nosey caretaker.

You are a very rude person!

Rather than taking the time to offer an insightful rebuttal, you've chosen to insult what is a balanced, judicous-if somewhat critcal-review with a personal insult directed at the poster. It seems you've only managed to reinforce the original poster's assessment.
