About the Building
Pauline is a wholly owner-occupied, age-restricted (55+) condo building. That matters for buyers: owner-occupied means no rental turnover, a more stable community feel, and neighbours who are invested in the building. The low-rise, 50-unit scale also keeps things intimate. You're not lost in a large tower, and the building has the quiet, settled character that many downsizers are looking for.

- Year built: 1969
- Type: Low-rise
- Units: 50
- Age restriction: 55+
- Ownership: Wholly owner-occupied
Floor Plans and Interior Space
One of Pauline's biggest selling points is size. Newer condo construction has trended toward smaller footprints, but Pauline's 1969 layouts offer generous room sizes:
- One-bedroom homes start at approximately 800 square feet
- Two-bedroom homes go up to approximately 1,130 square feet
Large windows bring in plenty of natural light, and the spacious layouts make the homes feel bright and welcoming. Many units also have a large balcony, which is the perfect spot to enjoy the ocean views that make White Rock so special. For buyers moving from a larger house, these floor plans make downsizing far less of a compromise.
Strata Fees and Building Updates
Pauline's strata fees include heat and hot water, which helps with predictable monthly budgeting, particularly valuable for those on a fixed retirement income. The building also had a new roof installed in 2009, a major capital item that is already behind it.
As with any 1960s-era building, we recommend reviewing the strata minutes, depreciation report, and financial statements before making an offer. Our team can help you request and interpret these documents. Get in touch and we'll walk you through the process.
