Wallace-Emerson – because urban tastemak­ers and young fam­i­lies are chang­ing the neighbourhood

With a slate of gal­leries, restau­rants, vin­tage shops and cafés name checked by urban tastemak­ers, the stretch of Lans­downe between Dun­das and Bloor is no longer risky, seedy and bypassed. It’s now not only the city’s locus of hip­ster cul­ture, but a des­ti­na­tion for fam­i­lies look­ing for a nice semi in the $500,000s.

The area’s two best real estate pock­ets — Wallace-Emerson and the adja­cent Brock­ton Vil­lage — are bloom­ing with new devel­op­ments. North of Bloor, empty lots are fill­ing up with new town­houses (includ­ing the Brown­stones devel­op­ment on Wal­lace Avenue, west of Perth), work and retail spaces (like the Junc­tion Tri­an­gle Lofts) and design-conscious con­dos (Upside Down, a mid-rise near Dupont aimed at young professionals).

BOUNDARIES
From the rail­road tracks west of Perth Avenue to Duf­ferin; from the rail­road tracks above Dupont to Bloor Street

AVERAGE PRICES
2009: $375,038
2010: $418,698
2011: $434,112

Brock­ton Vil­lage – because Lansdowne’s shed­ding its grungy skin, with­out becom­ing generic

Like Wallace-Emerson next door, Brock­ton Vil­lage is quickly becom­ing a des­ti­na­tion for both urban tastemak­ers and young fam­i­lies look­ing for a nice, yet afford­able, first home. The area’s Vic­to­rian row houses are being scooped up by the first-time buy­ers you’ll see push­ing strollers on the tree-lined streets. Res­i­dents have plenty of shops to fre­quent: along Dun­das West, Por­tugese and Brazil­ian busi­nesses alter­nate between new bars and brunch spots.

BOUNDARIES
Rail­road tracks off Dun­das West, meet­ing at Duf­ferin and Queen West, and Bloor Street

AVERAGE PRICES
2009: $375,038
2010: $418,698

  • The urban townhouse comes to Toronto

    By Derek Ray­maker – Globe and Mail

    The new con­do­minium mar­ket is stretch­ing into an eighth straight year of record con­struc­tion and sales. Very lit­tle appears likely to slow it down, as long as inter­est rates remain rel­a­tively low and low-rise house prices stay exceed­ingly high.

    It’s safe to say that con­do­minium con­struc­tion is well beyond its for­mer sta­tus as a niche prod­uct. They cur­rently make up more than 40% of the new hous­ing mar­ket in Toronto, and are even grow­ing to between 10 and 20% of new hous­ing con­struc­tion in the 905 suburbs.

    But when most of us think about con­dos, we think about boxed-in suites in high-rise build­ings, or a lit­tle less often, cav­ernous bare lofts. These are not for everyone’s lifestyle.

    The urban town­house has taken a lit­tle longer to dis­tin­guish itself in the con­do­minium mar­ket, but it’s now tak­ing hold in dozens of res­i­den­tial pock­ets around estab­lished neigh­bour­hoods. These are dif­fer­ent from the large-scale row house com­mu­ni­ties such as those around King Street West or pep­pered through­out Scar­bor­ough, Eto­bi­coke and Mis­sis­sauga. Urban town­houses are more likely to be infill projects on busier streets or in neigh­bour­hoods dom­i­nated by detached or semi-detached hous­ing where high-rises would be quite out of place.

    One small-scale urban–town­house devel­op­ment that has turned a lot of heads in down­town Toronto is Baldwin-McCaul by Green­leaf Homes. The project takes its name from the inter­sec­tion on which it’s located: Bald­win — with its short but trendy prom­e­nade — and McCaul streets, between Dun­das and College.

    With prices rang­ing from $749,900 for 1,608 square feet to $869,900 for 2,207 square feet, these eight slim, three-bedroom town­houses are not nec­es­sar­ily for first-time buy­ers, but aimed more at pro­fes­sional cou­ples who want a bit more pri­vacy and peace and quiet than tra­di­tional con­dos have to offer.

    Green­leaf has been an active player on the sub­ur­ban detached scene, but they man­aged to nail down a spec­tac­u­lar loca­tion for this inner-city foray. The site is within walk­ing dis­tance of the finan­cial dis­trict, the Uni­ver­sity of Toronto and many other impor­tant places in down­town Toronto. And while these brownstone-style town­houses have pri­vate sin­gle garages in the base­ment, you’ll be able to get by quite nicely with­out a car.

    While urban town­houses such as those of Baldwin-McCaul often come at a hefty pre­mium, there are more afford­able projects in the early stages. The big dif­fer­ence is that they’re likely to be of the stacked vari­ety (mean­ing two units shared by one four-storey row house) and part of a larger development.

    Most urban town­house devel­op­ments riff heav­ily on the design pres­tige of the Man­hat­tan brown­stone. Mon­te­vallo Devel­op­ments has suc­cess­fully par­layed the cachet of the brown­stone into an overnight sales sen­sa­tion at its Brown­stones on Bloor, with all 85 stacked town­houses being snapped up within a week after launch­ing in May.

    That’s pretty remark­able since the loca­tion — on Bloor Street west of Lans­downe Avenue — was con­sid­ered a dodgy and noisy pocket, next to busy rail­way tracks and a still-active indus­trial corridor.

    Mon­te­vallo just launched the Brown­stones on Wal­lace, about two blocks north of the sold-out Bloor loca­tion, putting 134 stacked town­houses on the mar­ket with prices rang­ing from $219,900 to $295,000 for between 850 and 1,270 square feet.

    The brown­stone con­cept will fit in nicely in this west-end neigh­bour­hood, The Junc­tion, which is con­sid­ered to be a more afford­able area than the for­merly working-class neigh­bour­hoods south of Bloor that are now expe­ri­enc­ing rapid price increases.
