Summerhill is probably best known for its wonderful Railway Station LCBO and that it neighbours the most prestigious downtown locale, Rosedale. Historically speaking Summerhill has not had many condo buildings. That being said the Yonge St corridor is evolving to house more density as the city of Toronto grows. There are some amazing new projects for the uber-elite are beginning to pop up. Let’s get started:
Best Condos in Summerhill
Scrivener Square
Scrivener Square comprises of two buildings 20 and 25 Scrivener Square (Thornwood I & II respectively). If you cannot picture these buildings perhaps picturing the Summerhill LCBO (railway station) will jog your memory? This development from the day it was completed has stood to be one of the finest developments in downtown Toronto. The front desk is extremely professional, the finishings are exceptional. These condos sell for much more than the downtown average value, no matter how the condo market is performing. I always have someone looking for a condo in this building. It’s ideal for the young professional getting their first condo through to the wealthy downsizer from Lawrence Park and Rosedale. There is a very fine space for everyone in this building.
The Oaklands
This is an often overlooked development on Avenue Road near De La Salle College. The Units are larger due to the era in which the building was constructed. Many units boast large terraces. Despite being on Avenue Raod this building offers quiet streets to stroll towards all the amenities you could want on Yonge Street (through traffic is restricted from Avenue to Yonge).
38 Avoca
This is a well-run condo with access to the ravine system of Toronto. Many of these condos are very spacious with superior views to the east and to the south.
Honourable mentions: As alluded to above, there are new condos on the way that will certainly be amongst the best condos in Summerhill including, The Residences of Hill and Dale at Yonge. Other condos worth mentioning: Roxborough, 33 Jackes Condos, there are many boutique conversions scattered through Summerhill as well.
