Overview

Even those desiring a quiet home outside of the downtown core should be able to enjoy the perks of loft living. Fortunately, the West Village Lofts are a perfect middle ground — slightly removed from the bustling City Center - Toronto, these homes still feel bright and spacious as ever.

This boutique soft loft is a relatively recent construction, built in 2006. Stafford Homes spearheaded the project, a group with numerous successful residential and commercial developments under their belt.

As mainly single-family homes dot the tree-lined streets of the Briar Hill & Belgravia neighbourhood, this stucco structure enjoys its spot in the limelight. The boxy, industrial style exterior is a refreshing break for both residents and neighbours to enjoy. Plus, panes of warehouse windows allude to the 29 sunlit homes that can be found within.

Unlike those in the more cramped downtown Toronto neighbourhoods, residents of the West Village Lofts will have plenty of space to explore. Drivers benefit from the parking garage for themselves and visitors; pet owners taking advantage of the animal-friendly policy at 550 Hopewell Avenue will love exploring the York Beltline Trail and Walter Saunders Memorial Park, leash in hand.

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.
