Looking for opinions as I have to pick my upgrades for Charlie West soon. Specifically, I'm looking for information on how
I got about $20k in upgrades because I am personally living in it. From what I hear, rental purchases spend about $5k. The one thing I "regret" is not telling them I wanted an ethernet connection in the living room. It's only in my master bedroom and den, but apparently you have to tell them that when you sign.
Quote:the quality of the installed flooring is ("engineered plank" vs "vinyl plank" vs "premium vinyl"),
I got Engineered Wide Plank Silver Gray. I absolutely love this upgrade. Everyone that comes over compliments the flooring. I notice in one panel that it's starting to creak a bit, but otherwise solid quality. What you should look out for is gapping between the flooring and the base boards.
Quote:the lighting upgrades,
I got option 3 for $3500. It includes 26 or 27 recessed LED pot lights. I recommend this personally because lighting is important for condos, but option 2 would be ok too.
Quote:sliding bathroom door
My sliding door is from Maxx. It's pretty basic but I think it's decent. I believe it's this one: https://maax.com/en/product/halo-pro-sli...-mm_138952
Quote:bathroom floor/wall tiles
Bathroom/landing tile is 6" x 24" Porcelain Timber Grey, shower tile is 12" x 24" Gloss Vena White. Highly recommend both, both are very good quality and look incredible.

The shower tile in this is the same, and the floor tile is similar but it's just a little bit darker.
Quote:Comments on other upgrades you loved or hated such as the cabinets, pre-installed TV mounts and closet organizers are welcome too!
I got gloss white cabinets and black double thick counters. It looks good together.
What I somewhat regret is my lazy suzan upgrade, mainly because I don't use it since there is a lot of cabinet storage to use. lol.
For the TV upgrade, I think it's a little bit of a waste of money unless you really care about aesthetics. Mounting a TV isn't too hard, but they do fish the wires through the wall if you choose that option.
I got the grey paint upgrade and I regret it a little. It looks good but some of the paint work is really sloppy.
I also really like my double wide kitchen sink.
