Investing In A North York Condominium

Return To: North York Condos
 

North York has a buzzing metropolitan lifestyle and hundreds of different condominium buildings from which to enjoy this life. North York is a major metropolis of Toronto, Canada that is one of the most culturally diverse areas in the country. So investing in North York Condos makes a lot of good sense.

There are two major areas that you should look at for investment purposes. The first is the area around the buzzing Central Business District, particularly on or just off Yonge Avenue. There is a downtown feel in North York Centre which has easy links to the Toronto Transit system and is very popular with young professionals. This is also the area to find high-rise condominiums and some really stunning signature buildings such as Platinum Towers and Miracle At Yonge.

Willowdale is another neighbourhood where they young professionals gather. It has excellent transport links as well as bars and restaurants.

If you are searching for the family renters then Emery, Don Mils and Victoria Park Village are very popular areas.

Student renters can be found in the area around North York University. This is also a vibrant, student based environment with condominiums to suit these types of renters.

Whichever area you choose the size of the condo, the services available within the condominium and the entertainment and transport links around the condo are very important.

Whilst you can buy very small “junior” or “bachelor” condos that are about 450 to 550 square feet you are unlikely to obtain long rentals on these properties. These are the types of homes that people quickly grow out of and want to move on from. The exception being if you purchase a small really high end condo that is suitable for short company lets. There are many international businesses based in the North York Central Business District and obtaining a rental contract from a large company is a profitable option.

Two bedroom North York condos will always let much easier than a one bedroom condo. They appeal to small families and to young sharers. A condo with two en-suite bathrooms and bedrooms the same size is particularly attractive to sharers.

If you wish to appeal to the wealthier renter or to contract office workers then the design and finish to the condominium is of particular importance.

All North York condo renters are choosing condominium living because they want the ease of this type of lifestyle combined with the recreational facilities that condominiums usually offer. North York has hundreds of condominium buildings that offer swimming pools, concierge services and exercise rooms as a minimum. Many offer many more services. All of them are attractive to the condo renter.

So investing in a North York condominium – a great idea.
