240 Heath Street W

Situated in Forest Hill South, the Village Park Condos have proudly overlooked the this prestigious neighbourhood since 1978. This development at 240 Heath Street West was constructed by Car-Allen Investments, and still compares favourably to newer builds throughout the city, courtesy of the building’s sophisticated design and posh location.

Standing at 17-storeys, the building's clean aesthetic radiates a confidence distinctive of high-modern design. Extending from an innovative octagonal base, the building's tower features long vertical series of wide windows that rise up from the ground seamlessly. As a result, even without any ornate adornments, the design of the tower projects a sense of grandeur.

Nonetheless, the design culminates with the elegant stone awning articulated boldly over the its entrance — a fitting way to welcome residents home to a building filled with luxury amenities. This includes concierge service, a fully equipped exercise room, an indoor pool, a sauna, a party room for entertaining friends and family, and an impressive rooftop terrace boasting a gorgeously groomed garden.

Not to big, nor too small, the Village Park Condos contain 66 midtown Toronto condos, which are all two-bedroom, two-bathroom homes. Varying from around 1,600 to 1,800 square feet, Toronto condos for sale in this building are spacious, and suited well for the small families attracted to this friendly neighbourhood.

For parents (or any resident for that matter), kitchens feel especially expansive — they’re big enough to cook and eat in. They feature granite countertops and stainless countertops, one of the many updates that persist throughout the Village Park Condos, which are still luxurious even after three decades.

Conversely, 240 Heath St W has always boasted suites filled with an abundance of natural light: the generously sized windows fill the open concept living spaces splendidly. Though the building features only a few balconies, corner set sunrooms are bright and — unlike true outdoor spaces — warm year round.

Nestled on a quiet side street stemming off Spadina Road, 240 Heath St W offers residents an easy going but still exciting lifestyle — there are both lush green spaces as wells as vibrant commercial areas in the surrounding neighbourhood.

Down the street, the Cedarvale Ravine’s luscious landscape breathes freshness into the neighbourhood. There’s a footpath one can stroll on, which also leads to large grassy fields where many enjoy picnics, baseballs games, and more.

Around the corner from the Village Park Condos, an eclectic array of shops surrounds the prominent Midtown intersection of Bathurst Street and St. Clair Avenue West. Moreover, catering to the neighbourhood’s proudly diverse community are some delicious and culturally-distinct eateries and markets, like Albert’s Real Jamaican. Also, authentic Filipino dishes and products can be purchased at FV Food Markets.

Even without a car, residents can get around the city with ease. A short walk away from the Village Park Condos, where Heath becomes Tichester Road, is where one can access St. Clair West Station on the Yonge-University-Spadina subway line. Trains from St. Clair West Station take riders downtown and uptown in no time.

For those who do drive, residents live in an area where traffic moves quite well, thanks to Midtown’s wide main streets. Bathurst, in particular, is popular with drivers. Its lanes remain wide even as the street extends south through downtown Toronto, and all the way to the Lakeshore.

Towards the north, drivers can take Bathurst to access the highway quickly: they can either drive directly to the 401, or turn west on Eglinton, the first major street north of 240 Heath St W. Eglinton leads quickly to the Allen Road Expressway, connecting to the 401 near Yorkdale Mall.
