How is the Fort York area in Toronto for living?
Posted by admin in Toronto Condos Thursday, 4 February 2010 17:49 2 Comments
I am thinking of buying a condo close to Fort York on the lakeshore in Toronto. Is anyone familiar with the area? Is it easy to access the transit system? Is there a grocery store near by? Any comments would be appreciated.
Retired Couples Love Toronto Condos For Sale

Sprinkled through inner-city Toronto are dozens of exciting new condominium developments, making Toronto condos for sale very desirable options for retirement living. Close proximity to everything required for healthy and active retirement living is located in downtown Toronto, right on the historic shores of Lake Ontario.
It was in the 1980s when futurists predicted that after retirement, seniors would sell their larger homes in favor of vacation spots or smaller cottages in rural areas. The reverse seems to be happening, with today’s retirees wanting access to shopping, cultural activities, transit, fitness and medical facilities. All this and more is available in downtown Toronto, when condos are becoming as much a part of the landscape as the CN Tower.
There are three reasons why Toronto condos for sale are highly sought after by Ontario seniors. Common sense, comfort and convenience. A home, whether a thousand or two thousand square feet, all on one level means no stairs to climb, which may not be a concern to the average 65-year-old today, but 20 years from now, a home free of stairs will be a blessing. Walk in on the ground floor, take your express elevator to your home and walk right in. Plus, condos are maintenance free. No fences to paint, storm windows to bring in, no leaves to rake up and no snow to shovel. If you know Ontario and the changing of the seasons, you’ll likely feel the relief already!
Sure, space may be a concern. Downsizing will be required and excess possessions dealt with. But your life will be up-sized thanks to condo ownership. All you have to do is lock your door, take the key and go – where ever you want, leaving your home completely secure.
Your Toronto condominium designed for your lifestyle will contain all the safety features you need. Easier to renovate for your lifestyle and much easier to find already built for the senior in mind. Step in tubs, extra railings in the bath, higher toilet seats and anti-scald taps, lever-style door handles.
Certainly, a well appointed condo can be found in any locale. But if Toronto is where your life has been and will continue to be, stay in Toronto in perfect comfort. You don’t even need a car save to shuffle your visitors around or the occasional drive to Niagara Falls. With a subway stop nearby and a GO Train at the ready, you can be as independent as long as possible in downtown Toronto.
When you begin your search, find a realtor that knows Toronto and Ontario real estate law. There are varying degrees of ownership when it comes to condominiums and a virtually new land transfer tax that all realtors should be aware of.
