Overview
Inside a cozy corner of The Beaches neighbourhood known as the Beach Triangle sits the Beach House Loft — a building as unique as the area it resides in. This boutique soft loft at 1842 Queen Street East is within reach of downtown Toronto, while moments from the balmy shores of Lake Ontario; the region is somehow eccentric, hyper-local, and peaceful, all at the same time.
Toronto condos for sale in The Beaches are hard enough to come by (meaning lofts here are all the more rare), which is yet another ingredient that makes the Beach House Lofts so distinctive. Built in 2005, the concept already had its roots laid down — Beach House Lofts are the sequel to and neighbour of the Academy Lane Lofts at 1852 Queen East. Building on the triumph of this predecessor, Streetcar Developments wound up taking home a Toronto Urban Design Award for the Beach House Lofts a few years later.
These lofts are also exclusive for more than just their intimate size — while the building is divided into only 12 units, it was built before the majority of other lofts in The Beaches had arrived. And while certain potential buyers are scared off by big-brand retail on the ground floor, others will revel in the fact that a venti Pike Place or a caramel macchiato is only a set of stairs away.

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.
