Overview
Built in 1974, Emmett House is a 25 Storey high-rise, containing 275 spacious units in the Mount Dennis neighbourhood. The exterior of this condo building is traditional to say the least — brown brick, with white concrete and a classic rectangular frame. If you dismissed this building upon a glance, that’s understandable, but looks can be deceiving, and there’s a lot of untapped potential within these units.
Beyond the dated exterior, this building is remarkably well kept and certainly holds its own. Along with your spacious suite, you have access to relaxing amenities; an outdoor pool, sauna, on site green space with picnic tables, security guard, and parking garage. And for animal lovers, this building has pet friendly policies, perfect for Fido, Spot, or Patches — adorable pet names are optional.
Emmet House is the least expensive building in the York Crosstown area, and when you weigh York condo prices against those in downtown Toronto, you can only conclude that this is one of the most affordable buildings in the GTA. These condos are ideal for first time home buyers, young professionals, or families who are on a tight budget.

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.
