I used to live in the Goodacre buildings, before I went back to uni and had to downsize. They were most certainly populated, at least between 2004-2010. They were pretty dated inside back then, but have apparently been overhauled since. I wouldn't mind living there again - the location was excellent, as was my view of the park - but the price has gone up considerably following the updates.

We must've passed each other in the halls, elevators or laundry room on the main floor, lol. I lived in GA "south" from 2002-to early '07; loved the location. A large 2 bedroom 5th floor unit with a view across James Bay and toward the Sooke Hills cost me all of $890; later a 6th floor, 1 bedroom apartment overlooking BHP was $820. Seems like an Ice Age or two ago now.....

Isn't that funny. I lived two years in Goodacre South in a little bachelor unit for, I think, $650/m. It was small but had an 11th-floor view of the park. Then I lived four years in a 1br in the north building, 6th floor with a park view, for $800/m.
