    esplanade safety?

    To be fair, I don't think MBS was calling the area ghetto, but rather saying it isn't but compared to other areas it may "relatively" feel ghetto. Relative being the operative word. This says it. This neighbourhood is modelled world wide as a successful neighbourhood with a mix of low...

    House Hunting

    I think the Shops at Don Mills completely put this neighbourhood on the map, so I'll disagree and bolster your argument that Don Mills is a great place to raise a family. Because now you can take them to a splash park in the summer and ice skating in the winter with shops, cafes, and restaurants...

    Colour Selection

    Is it along the lines of something like this? Even if not exactly like that, I think I get the idea you're presenting and if you ask me I don't think it's tacky at all. First, clearly the pic you attached is not tacky. So the question really is since wood is normally of a brown colour...

    What makes a good real estate agent a.k.a I doubt my realtor is going a good job.

    She is correct that it is very common practice to do so and many agents will quote how they've been "screwed" as a result of not having a buyers agency agreement in place. I have a friend who is a realtor, an honest and reputable one at that, who wanted my business and insisted on a buyers...

    Mixed-Use Downtown Development Puts Standard Malls’ Tax Yield to Shame

    Excellent and very interesting article. Thanks for sharing.

    What makes a good real estate agent a.k.a I doubt my realtor is going a good job.

    Did you sign a buyers agency agreement with her? If not, you're scott-free to drop her. You have no obligation to her at all. If you did, that's fine, how many days until it ends? As cdr said, you can take your time. Prices are stablizing and there will be more choice. This is a long term...

    Church-Wellesley Village

    Can't argue with those ideas. I have to agree that it was another great Pride weekend.

    The Lifestyle Shop

    Well said, Riley. I agree... yes, it's important to seek out value. Not knocking Ikea, but it is "starter" furniture for the most part. I've always looked at it that way. It's the place you go when you're furnishing your dorm room or your first apartment in your twenties. Now that I'll be...

    Condo life expectancy?

    Seems that the market would dictate. I imagine the majority of owners living in a decrepid building that become too costly to maintain would move out well ahead of time. After all, their condo fees are supposed to cover it and they don't exactly decrease over time. As CityPainter said, unless...

    Laminate (Dark or light)

    I think whether dark floors make a place feel smaller or whether light floors make a place feel larger is a bit of a red herring. The only truth to that is that it is basic theory. Meanwhile, there are so many other variables that contribute to how a place feels. I'd argue that the number of...

    Layout opinion - One Valhalla

    While it's nice to have natural light in every room, this is not always possible with most condos. I agree with Tuscani about placement of the den. Often the den is at the entrance. These layouts are great because they are to the side of the living area essentially making it a larger living...

    Rooftop Terrace for sale?

    Interesting indeed! Only a current owner of a unit at Broadview Lofts can purchase it. I guess it's not attached to a unit. I'm surprised this is a private terrace and not a common element then.

    St Lawrence Market

    There are tables that have adjustable legs so that the table then becomes level. However, rarely do I see them in practice. Even when used, rarely are they ever adjusted as intended to be. Probably because who ever sets the tables doesn't care about the details. But this looks to be a very...

    Laminate (Dark or light)

    Looks good, cdr. Also good example for this topic. There are a variety of woods and tones to choose from. It's not a black and white comparison. Regardless of whether you want dark or light, you can have your cake and eat it too.
