Interesting choice. (You forgot the lack of on street parking.) I say that because, as a (former) 27 year resident of Riverdale -- two different streets -- I was always curious about Riverdale Avenue because it seemed lined with houses much older than those on the streets around it and it has...

Not only that but the builder seems to be emphasizing its rental potential to Ryerson students because, hey, who doesn't want to live and/or raise kids surrounded by partying students?

Also, I am guessing that those condos are, on average newer. Newer buildings means lower fees.

I just found the website. Looks like it.

Glad to see today a new Greek restaurant -- yeah, just the usual but nice looking -- at 730 Danforth, NE corner of Eaton next to Rogers. Bite Me Grill used to be there, I think.

NOTE THAT I CORRECTED THIS... Our rule is, you can rent for six month BUT, if the tenants vacate before the end of six months, you can't rent again to others until a full year from the start of the lease is up.

Whistler's -- aka Gordian Foods -- owns all the houses north to the Sobey's parking lot, plus one behind the pub on Mortimer. It was most definitely sold to a developer. The owner cashed out after having been in the business since he was a teenager. His children are all professionals and are not...

Now that is an interesting development. May there be many more.

Damn those little KitKats

Yes, I am a member of that group. ;-)

And I went to Pier 1 up on Eg & Laird last weekend looking for items to "redecorate" our balcony -- and yes, I first hit Moss on the Danforth and bought stuff there -- but 90% of the floor area was fall stuff, coloured leaves wreaths, etc. By September, we'll be shopping for Xmas stuff. Also...

Our building is 40+ years old and it's been one damn thing after another. The envelope, the garage, the balconies, the exhaust fans, etc. It didn't help that it was the wild west for many years where people did what they please, interfering with common elements and, as a result, impacting on the...

Those are insane. But note that "they" is a Board and you can vote it out. Also, under sections 46 & 58,you can requisition a meeting to fight a new rule before it comes into effect.

Sees like F. Shaw is signing up every condo in town. We signed up three months ago. I hope they can keep up.

Watch for my request!

I wouldn't lay it solely at the feet of the city. The OMB surely has a lot to answer for.

And she's back with her pet peeve...! Just stumbled across this Global News report (video) from late June. "New gridlock as a result of Condo Baby Boom As single condo dwellers become couples with children, a new type of gridlock has hit the downtown core. Minna Rhee takes a look at a new...

I don't think Management can enforce a rule without Board and even resident consent. I agree that the water in unbreakable containers rule is unreasonable but, then, what if people are sneaking in alcohol or sticky sodas or whatever? Is Management to inspect every bottle? This could also be a...

In a well laid out suite, in buildings with like on top of like (i.e. living rooms on top of living rooms, kitchens on top of kitchens, etc.), no useless tunnel corridors, no double vanity ensuites with ginormous showers, 1000 sf for a 3BR is not ideal but do-able, especially if the developers...

I had to drive around East York the past couple of days. The O'Connor-Coxwell-Broadview-Mortimer area. I was struck by the huge new infill houses, or those old post-war bungalows with significant extensions plus second and third storeys. Back when those were built, they probably contained 3-4...
