While back in TO for a vacation we went with a friend looking to downsize to see a few suites. Not impressed at all.
The 2bdrm configs were all very small and just... Weird. Long halls for no reason. Bedrooms where the nearest bathroom is across the living space. Very small 'den' like spaces with no obvious place for a TV. Cable outlets on the wrong wall.
The 1bds were better, but still tiny.
Townhouses hopefully sold to exhibitionists, as their decks have 100s of watching eyes.
Very busy traffic noise on the Dundas side, better (surprisingly) on the Carlaw side, actually quite nice and quiet and nice treetop views on the east/north side. Cheap(ish), but deservedly so.
