Years ago, I rented a condo in the Xenex building (788 12th Ave SW). Fantastic location, a block from Safeway and walking distance to the Co-Op and Sunterra (if that still exists), with very easy access to downtown by foot. If there is an available unit in that building, I’d definitely consider being there.
Again, it has been years since I was there so I can’t speak to recent matters, but the building did have a few water leaks (my unit was affected due to poor construction on an upper floor, but the roof leaked as well from what I heard) and the fire alarms went off a bit too often in the winter because of some issue with the underground garage. But I did love living there and the utilities seemed cheap (under $100 a month, all in, as I recall).
