Overview
First time home buyers take note — this is your chance to break into the market, in a neighbourhood that’s bound to be trendy before long. St. James Town was the site of a high-rise community project in the 1950s that was meant to transform the neighbourhood into a highly desirable area, unfortunately it failed, and the neighbourhood gained a bad reputation.
Today, that high-rise community is coming together naturally, as more and more developers are building swanky new condos in the neighbourhood — and prices are finally catching up to those of Toronto condos for sale in other neighbourhoods.
Towering to 40 storeys at 120 Homewood Ave, The Verve offers spacious suites at prices that won’t crush your soul. The Verve was built in 2008, and the exterior follows modern condo design — a tower constructed of glass, steel and concrete.
With a condo in this building, you get some nice extras to enjoy after a long day of work — or even a long day of doing nothing — amenities include; gym, pool, sauna, media room, party room, meeting room, shared rooftop deck, security guard, concierge, and parking garage.

Share of occupied homes, by the era they were built in. Bars are drawn against the busiest era, not against each other, because the eras are not the same length. The eight shares are unlikely to total exactly 100: Statistics Canada rounds each era's count to the nearest 5 before publishing it, so we print what the census reports rather than adjusting a figure to make the column add up.
