Amanda Dindayal's family ditched their CityPlace condo downtown for a spacious home in Burlington. Now, she's convinced suburban life is the best option
After school, Syan burned off energy at one of the shared amenities in our condo building. There was a playroom, a swimming pool, a bowling alley and a basketball court. I was that mom on the court in high heels shooting hoops with the kids, and I wasn’t the only one. About one-third of the residents in our building were families with children, and there was a real community feeling. The condo hosted magic shows, Halloween parties and even hired a Santa Claus for the holidays.
Our new neighbourhood is wonderful. The sellers left behind a trampoline, so our house is very popular with kids on the block. The parents get along great too. I can pop over for a glass of wine with any one of my neighbours, and it’s cheaper than going to a bar. Over the holidays, I hosted a gathering at our house for the other women on my street. And just the other day, my neighbour gave me an apple just because I happened to mention that I was craving one.
