I actually love those condos. I don't live there, but in a different part of North Shore, and I don't think they cheapen the look at all. I love the colors they chose. The only townhomes I DON'T like are the ones just west of the North Shore Model area that are on the very west end of what's finished in North Shore right now. Those look a bit weird, but the ones around the roundabout are nice.
Not all of North Shore is high density or townhome/condos. Take a look at the very east end, there are some amazing homes going up, and all those lots are slotted to be big beautiful single-family homes, like in the rest of Daybreak.
Variety with taste is what makes this place such a great scene, in my opinion!
