Overview
Square footage, greenery, and affordability make this North York condo among the most desirable in the Westminster-Branson neighbourhood. Hemisphere II Condos stands 27 storeys tall and contains just 172 suites — a modest count considering the size of the structure.
The building was completed in 1982 following the launch of The Hemisphere Condominiums, located next door and offering an almost identical living arrangement.
131 Torresdale Ave occupies a substantial plot in the neighbourhood and resides on manicured grounds, surrounded by mature trees. Residents enjoy excellent amenities such as a full-sized outdoor tennis court, an outdoor pool, a whirlpool, a garden with picnic benches, a billiards room, and a fitness room.

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.
