Overview
Located at 68 Merton Street, this modern 14-storey building strikes an impressive figure — with its tiered exterior and colorful glass accents, Life Condos is an eye-pleasing addition to the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood. Life Condos is a boutique condominium, so amenities are not as extensive as what you might find in a larger building; gym, party room, meeting room, concierge, and parking garage.
This building is a great choice for professionals who work in downtown Toronto but want a quiet reprieve from busy city life — with a condo at 68 Merton you have a quiet street to call home, and a short subway ride to the downtown core. There's also some appeal here for empty nesters, who are looking to downsize from a detached home.
One of the major draws of living in Mount Pleasant is access to nature; from 68 Merton Street you are only minutes away from the Kay Gardner Beltline Trail — a beautiful tree-shrouded path connecting to parks throughout the area. Parents with young children have playgrounds and splash pads at June Rowlands Park, and Oriole Park.

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.
