Chestnut Park
Overview
Found on Centre Ave off Dundas Street West and one black east of University, Chestnut Park is a conventional concrete and glass condo tower that offers affordability, strong management, and a great location.
The 22-storey building was completed in 1990, and since then it has been offering over 130 Toronto condos for sale and for rent, just steps from the Eaton Centre, City Hall, Financial District, and major Hospitals, making it perfect for investors, working professionals and first-time buyers. The suites range from bachelor and junior one-bedroom apartments to two-bedrooms plus den, with select penthouse units that feature a large family room. Chestnut Park offers less fancy amenities compared to some of the newer Toronto condos, but the suites are very roomy, the building is safe, and the central location gives residents access to some of the city’s finest art galleries, including the Art Gallery of Ontario, Ontario College of Art and Design, and Village by the Grange.
Most Notable Features
Ideal for students: Chestnut Park is located right between University of Toronto and Ryerson University, making it an ideal residence for students seeking a downtown home for the school year. With suites from bachelor to two-bedrooms plus den, Chestnut Park can cater to all lifestyles whether you want to live alone or share a place with friends.
Central location: Located one street east of University Avenue, homeowners at Chestnut Park will love the prime downtown locale, just steps from St. Patrick subway station on the Yonge-University line and within walking distance to Yonge Street’s Eaton Centre, Bay Street’s Financial District, and Toronto’s Hospital hub along University Avenue.
Visitor parking: Chestnut Park has fewer amenities compared to other downtown Toronto condos, but the property does offer visitor parking. An often overlooked extra, visitor parking makes having friends and family over so much easier, especially in a busy downtown core. Forget the hassle of non-guaranteed street parking, and simply tell your guests to drive straight to your door.
