Anyone living in the Azure 2 building ever experience issues not being able to get much hot water when using the shower/sinks? My wife and I moved in this month and have been experiencing this issue on occasion.

If you live in this building, I am a little bit worried for one of you.

No obvious signs of human life for a few days, but I see three creepy children lined up and staring out the window across Sixth Street.

Sure caught my eye during my work meeting the other day! 🎃👻 nicely played!

I was at the intersection yesterday and did not hear the train horn when it passed.
I think the city has finally reached this milestone and fully implemented the cessation.
As one of the people who kept pressure on the City I think this is something to celebrate as a Sapperton community.

The population has just exploded. See if you can spot the token white one.

Hi! I’m considering moving to the towers above New Westminster Station/Plaza 88), and I’d love to hear from anyone who currently lives there or has lived there recently. Experiences from Azure 1/2 at 888/898 Carnarvon or other nearby apartments would also be helpful!

I’ve searched through Reddit and Google and found some pretty mixed/bad reviews, but a lot of them seem to be a few years old, so I’m wondering what the buildings are actually like nowadays.
I viewed a unit at Azure 1 recently and honestly really liked it. It looked great, was quite spacious, and seems like a pretty good deal at around $2,000/month for a 1 bed/1 bath (~615 sq ft), especially considering the direct SkyTrain access.

For current/recent residents, how has your experience been? I’m especially curious about:
1.Elevator reliability/wait times
2.SkyTrain or street noise
3.How hot the units get in summer
4.Building management/maintenance
5.Security and package theft
4.Bike storage (we weren’t sure where it was and how to access it)
5.Any pest, plumbing, water leak or other recurring building issues
6.Amenities and general cleanliness
7.What it’s actually like living directly above the station
8.Anything you wish you knew before moving in
9.Overall, would you recommend living at Azure 1 or 2 today?
Thanks! :)

I was there today(Sunday) and didn’t realize my daughter left her Owala water bottle there. And by the time I noticed it’s not with her we were already too far away. And couldn’t go back to get it since they close at 3pm.
Is there any chance they will still keep it there for me if I go tomorrow to get it back?

Alright, it's happening. Discuss the results here.

26M So I have a membership at the Planet Fitness in New West and I'm trying to get into the habit of going regularly. Is there any local group chat for accountability/community?

Hi everybody, just wondering if anyone can recommend the best place to play indoor ball in New West

Lost Saturday Oct 24 , a black Kipling make up pouch and green Lulu key holder with my keys , id and credit cards. If a good Samaritan has found please message me. Edit to add that may have been lost either at Metrotown or on skytrain.

Posting for my partner who was on a jog on marine drive/southpoint on the new west/burnaby border.

Found two beautiful red golden retrievers without leashes looking stressed. He went to the nearest house for help and himself and the house owner has called the non-emergency line. Animal SPCA help line doesn’t open until 9 but they will call them too.

Posting in hopes of anyone looking for these beautiful dogs!!!

Just moved into the city (queens park) looking for good eats good peeps and good childcare. Share if you care could use a jolly adventure for me and my wife.

Woke up to smoke and a horn sounding with a truck on fire behind our building, so grateful to our firefighters and responders for jumping in so quickly! Thank you. I don’t think anyone was hurt.

I know that Burnaby just had a hiring wave, but will New West have a hiring opportunity for lifeguards/Swim Instructors soon? I’m assuming that it will be for the spring. If anyone works in new west as a lifeguard or has any info please share

Has anyone signed up at the new club Pilates on 6th? I'm trying to figure out what their memberships or class packs cost and it's been weirdly hard to find out.

There's no pricing on their website, so I made an account to check. The only price I could see was a single class at $42, and to see anything else it wants me to add a credit card first. I'm not comfortable putting my card in before I even know what the options are. It just seems odd to make pricing this hard to see.

I'm also new to Pilates, so I was honestly shocked by $42 for one class. Is that normal for reformer Pilates around here? If anyone has a membership there (or somewhere similar nearby), I'd really appreciate knowing what you pay.

The studio looks really nice and I'd like to try it, I just want to know what I'm signing up for first.

I’ve been going to Hyack Tire, but since they were bought out, it just doesn’t feel the same.

My car needed a new ignition coil, and they wanted to replace all the coils + the spark plugs, and they quoted me $2000. My FIL was able to get the faulty ignition coil and all spark plugs replaced for $240. Granted, he had a connection and got a friend discount, but still. I think $500-$1000 would have been reasonable.

My understanding is that they place an emphasis on really good quality parts and providing a long-term warranty on their work. That’s probably perfect for some ppl’s needs and I don’t want to bash them or anything.

But my car is a second-hand 2004 sedan. It’s not a fancy car, and it doesn’t need fancy parts. I need a mechanic with more of a “fix it if it’s broken or about to break and don’t worry about top-of-the-line parts” philosophy.

Does anyone know of an excellent mechanic in New West that fits the bill?

If you are looking to get a flu shot Shoppers Drug Mart in the Mall allows walk ins. Just bring your B.C. services card and you can get in for a flu shot. I waited 5 or so minutes for my shot.
