Yorkville

Luxury condominiums and Victorian conversions, walking distance to the museums and the shopping.

Yorkville is the top of the Toronto condominium market and has been for some time. It was a village before it was absorbed by the city, then a counterculture district in the sixties, and it is now the address for buyers who want a full-service building, a concierge and Bloor Street at the door. The stock is polarised: a small number of high-specification towers and boutique buildings at the upper end, and behind them the surviving Victorian houses on Hazelton, Berryman and the surrounding streets, most converted to retail or offices but some still residential. Buyers here are frequently downsizing from a large house and are trading square footage for service and location.

Housing stock

High-specification condominiums, boutique low-rise buildings, a small number of Victorian houses.

Who buys here

Downsizers from the surrounding neighbourhoods, second-home buyers, and international purchasers.

Transit

Bay and Bloor-Yonge stations; both subway lines meet a few minutes away.

Worth checking

Fees at the top end are substantial and reflect the service level. Budget for them as an ongoing cost.
