5 Toronto Neighbourhoods ALL Condo Buyers Want (and Their Alternatives)

[@al3220]

Thank you for championing the St. Lawrence Market area. I feel it is underrepresented and underrated by other realtors who get caught up with the newer glitz and glamour of King West.

[@EvelynSaungikar]

I live mid way between St. Lawrence market and Distillery. I love it!

[@jakylili]

10 York St offers an incredible waterfront lake view 😍 Perfect balance of serene tranquility and the vibrant energy of city life!

[@TomStorey]

Hard to go wrong with Tridel

[@Bittersweet721]

Tanks for clickinggggg...!

[@MCWhyy]

Great work Tom. What are you top 3 buildings in each of your top 5 areas? Exploring that would make for another great video.

[@eddybigdata8794]

Thanks Tom! Looking forward to the Midtown review

[@ShehryarKhanNSFW]

Happy Monday, Tom!

[@TomStorey]

Same to you!

City place in the middle of everything litterally. Close to parks, recreational, restaurants, the well, stackt, entertainment district, cn tower, Scotiabnk. All within 15 min walk.

[@amorson3035]

Humber Bay shores (Park Lawn and Lakeshore) is a fantastic area. Beautiful new and old buildings right on the water with lots of restaurants. It has a hotel resort vibe. You are right beside Humber Bay park East and Sir Casimir Gzowski park, Bike trails, walking trails & Humber Bay Arch Bridge. High park and Bloor West is so close. Sherway Gardens is not far. Just such a fun area.

[@TomStorey]

Some great options in Humber Bay. Only reason it's not in this video is because it's not technically downtown Toronto.

[@essgee4225]

King Street West is horrible loud noisy drunks on the weekends, puke and fights from the 905ers that come down on the weekend

[@desireebrassard5203]

indeed, right on the boarder. What they have planed for the area in the next 5-10 years Will be a highlight of Etobicoke .From the ‘Christie towers’ ( which I’m pretty sure the permission to use this name has been taken away). the parks, community centres and everything else will enhance the area greatly.

[@Coltoid]

Besides the lakefront trail, there is nothing to do there, no stores or restaurants, or culture.

[@CanadianRealEstateChannel]

Awesome episode!

[@wd1598]

Toy Factory ROCKS! I have lived here for the last 6 years.

[@w.a.8829]

the design district should really go all the way to parliament - the amount of density going up is impressive: giant purpose built rental at queen and ontario (with a concert space??), the menkes at sherbourne and front, time+space is now finished, bauhaus by lamb etc etc

[@RICKRUTA]

@TomStorey May I get your opinion of Regent Park esp Daniels DuEast condo?

[@jaayclyde21]

Historically and even at present, people have pre-conceived notions about Regent Park. It used to be mainly about crime but, Toronto is filled with that now no matter where you live. I think it’s a gem. Can’t wait to see what Tridel does with the last 2 phases.

[@RICKRUTA]

@@jaayclyde21 Agreed, thank you!

[@TomStorey]

I somehow missed Regent Park when making this video. It should have been included. Has come a long way, and lots of good options.

[@RICKRUTA]

@@TomStoreythank you Tom!

[@jaayclyde21]

@@TomStorey very exciting future ahead as well with Tridel taking over the remaining phases of revitalization

[@agem2124]

how about bay street corridor ?

[@bilalgoher8793]

Why not north of queens quay but south of lakeshore between Yonge and Bathurst, with pinnacle centre, 100 harbor etc. ? Or was that part of waterfront

[@TomStorey]

I would consider that part of waterfront.

[@BerezhnyiOleg]

Thank you. Also interesting GTA areas for families.

[@shashisonu9]

Hey Tom good insights like always, do you have any view s on Trasit City Condos in Vaughan (5 Buttermill Ave) ?

[@despinakyraleos2234]

I was surprised you didn't say The Beach but then there aren't many condos down here in the first place, mostly homes. It's getting there though.

[@TomStorey]

This video is just for downtown Toronto areas.

[@allcan4175]

anything connecting to The Path, really, for those long winters...

[@RobertAnderson-o6u]

Thanks for keeping the +ve on condos, it’s gloomy everywhere else!!!

[@mclazy9989]

what are you seeing for Riverside/Leslieville?

[@TomStorey]

The Leslieville condo market is still moving well. Less condos and a lot of boutique style buildings, which buyers seem to like. Much different from the downtown core.

[@web3tel]

what is your opinion about 120 Parliament, please? It is not too far from both St Lawrence Market and Distillery

[@TomStorey]

We have several clients living there. I'm not aware of any issues.

[@applecrisp90]

you missed Canary District! Great area right beside distillery

[@TomStorey]

Go to 10:51 - it’s there!

[@aysunekrekli1708]

Thank you, very informative.. What do you think about NXT II? Thanks in advance..

[@TomStorey]

To live or for investment?

[@aysunekrekli1708]

@@TomStorey If you live there, it is your future investment as well. At least I think in this way..

[@siroodles709]

How would you feel about making this same video but for western, northern and eastern Ontario?

[@TomStorey]

Great idea. I would need to get several other area experts involved for something like that!

[@siroodles709]

@@TomStorey I forgot your expertise is the GTA. My bad sir!

[@vert911]

someone tell Tom movember is over. this video is my favorite of 2024.

[@adamnarbeaux5898]

Hey Tom! Thoughts on Nobu high floor facing south with lake views? Thanks! ❤

[@TomStorey]

Really depends on the price paid per sqft at launch. Some buyers will be waiting a while for that value to come back. It's your holding for the long term, that's a great area/building to own.

[@adamnarbeaux5898]

@ unfortunately I did not purchase at launch in 2017 for the $1100/ft. I paid much more than that. Bought an assignment. How many years do you think it will take to get back to $1400?

[@TomStorey]

Impossible to guess, some are saying 2029. So many “what if” situations.

[@adamnarbeaux5898]

@@TomStorey thanks Tom. Not the best news…..but have no choice I guess

[@firewoodlake]

I think those are all great areas to visit but I don't think the age of people owning condos downtown are the same as *(young) people who would want to enjoy and party down there because they can't afford them until they get old and by the time they afford it.

[@teenidol18]

Didn't you already do this video?

[@TomStorey]

That video was for freehold housing. This is brand new for condos.

[@ConnorLewis-pc1zi]

Hey how about the city of Vaughan hwy 7 metro area all the new condos coming there, what’s your thoughts on the area and prices?

[@royyabut5386]

What about sugar beach area like 15 Lower. Jarvis, studio selling for more than $1200 sq t ft

[@TomStorey]

That falls under “east waterfront” near the end of the video.

[@firewoodlake]

I wouldn't want to live in downtown Toronto anymore after the pandemic.
