I have lived around New Westminster my whole life and have rented at numerous places and have to say copper stone is the worst maintained building I've lived in Hallways are in disarray chipped ceilings cracked walls with half done caulking scratched and stained carpets Don't get me wrong the location is great one of the only benefits as it's near the skytrain hospital and highway but location doesn't make up for the crazy amount of noise you have to deal with around the building Sound proofing between units are great but Beware 3 CN train crossings near the building with train whistles going off at all hours of the day up to 10 x or more a day continuous construction at RCH skytrain noise and traffic off brunette ave If you're a light sleeper this place is literally hell Units are spacious but aesthetically are poorly detailed The residents keep to themselves no sense of community can barely get a hi or eye contact in the elevators and although smoking is prohibited numerous tenants smoke on patios and inside their units able to smell the green lettuce through the vents

Builder is the Carlisle Group Pointe of View

I did own a suite in this building Great run building great caretaker and very nice building So close to everything I sold for a nice profit I owned and rented it out without any problems Can not say anything bad about this building

This building was built at a lower cost per square foot than typical stick frame construction and it shows Walls are not square multiple seams in carpet electrical switches not flush with wall stock kitchen cabinets installed to leave acres of dead space What a disappointment Avoid if you are detail quality oriented If your chief concern is square footage then go for it Family and pet friendly Good soundproofing between units Fantastic location with easy walk to Skytrain and Thrifty Foods Access to Central Valley Greenway for jogging Off leash dog park and children's spray nearby Investigate current litigation before considering purchase

There's a lot of construction happening around the building I guess it's because of the whole Brewery District thing Usually construction is a good sign Obviously they're trying to improve the area I hope everything turns out well And I think they're putting in a park too At least that's what I ve heard

I can't wait for the new Thrifties and Brewery District to be completely developed It's gonna be hot

For the past 2 years I ve been making an effort to review all the buildings that I ve ever rented This is so that potential renters may consider my comments before making a final decision on a place to live I m a 27 year old single female and I ve had many good and bad experiences renting However the experience I had at Copperstone would have to fall under the category of good experiences First of all I found my neighbours to very friendly and helpful There is a strong sense of community within the building However this is not to say that I didn't have any bad experiences with neighbours either because I did For example I had some noise issues with the people living above me This is a problem I ve encountered in several of my renting experiences Over the years I ve learned that the best way to deal with problems like these is to address them yourself So I did My concerns were well received by the noise makers and my noise problem was no longer a problem at all

Now I ll talk a bit about the Sapperton area The neighbourhood is a little rough around the edges but it seems to be getting better I wish the Thrifties had been around for when I was living there it would have made my grocery trips much more convenient That's really all I have to say about the area Also I ve heard there are good schools near by but that's all I can really say on that You might want to check that one out for yourself Anyways Hope this helps a bit I can't think of anythings else to write P

Moved into the building 7 months ago and can't wait to renew my lease The landlord is great and New Westminster is a great place to live

Copperstone has improved drastically since it was first built The strata in my experience has made more of an effort to accommodate the needs of those living in the complex Overall I m very happy with the experience I had living there If I didn't have to sell my unit I would have lived there for much longer

great place to live nuff said

Great building with very nice neighbours Pet friendly Love it

Copperstone is like living in your own little sanctuary in the middle of Sapperton I feel like I m living in Whistler Village The community is very appealing lots of nice people mostly young The skytrain is probably the best part about living there It's a 5 minute walk to the station and it takes 15 20 minutes to get to the downtown core The only downside is that there's a helicopter pad right next to the building I think others have it worse than we do After two years we've gotten used to it It mostly comes during the day so it's not so bad unless you work from home The building is very family friendly There's a park being constructed next to one of the other buildings I m not sure when it's going to be done but when it's finished it will be great for my kids I m sure there are other nice places in New Westminster to live but I m very happy with where we are now and recommend Copperstone to first time buyers like us young families and students Hope this write up helps

I m renting a unit in this building from a friend of mine and I love it The commute downtown via skytrain is really easy It's something like a 2 minute walk to the station Shopping is also very close The skytrain will take you to downtown New West and there's a Thrifties being built that will be within walking distance of the building I m definitely going to try and buy something in this building when I can But for now I hope my friend doesn't want to move back in P

This is a brand new building at the time of this writing Water leaking into garage Poor construction unfinished painting Rain envelope incomplete uncaulked water leaking in HELICOPTER PAD up against rear of building hospital Noise is deafening
