1328 Birchmount Road

At 1328 Birchmount Road, a modern concrete and glass tower rises from a more traditional, red brick base. Built in 2016 by V.H.L. Developments Inc., the 2150 Condos is in fact one of three towers by this developer, all of which share a common courtyard.

With 660 Toronto condos spread out over 22 storeys, condo seekers interested in 1328 Birchmount are in luck – there’s likely to be a unit available in the building at all times. And in addition to all of these homes, the building also boasts plenty of amenities, including a gym, indoor pool, hot tub, party room, terrace with barbecues, visitor parking, and guest suites.

All types of residents live at 1328 Birchmount, thanks to the incredible variation in home size and layout. Those in need of a cozy place for one can opt for one of the building’s studios, which start at around 400 square feet. On the opposite end of the spectrum are the three bedroom plus den homes, which reach to 1,200 square feet at their largest.

While sizes fluctuate, finishes and features tend to be consistent throughout the building. Prospective residents can expect to find 8mm laminate flooring plus ceramic tile flooring in bathrooms and laundry rooms, granite kitchen countertops, stainless steel appliances — including Energy Star dishwashers and fridges — and stacked washers and dryers.

Wexford - Maryvale is an excellent representation of Toronto’s multiculturalism: according to a 2011 survey, only 60 percent of this neighbourhood’s residents spoke English at home. And while Wexford-Maryvale residents practice their own cultural traditions in the home, they also have the opportunity to explore the cultures of their neighbours through food.

This Scarborough neighbourhood is home to a huge number of restaurants serving up Indian, African, Middle Eastern, and Asian food — and more. Residents can check out these diverse (and delicious) spots year round, and in July they can even spend three days indulging at the Taste of Lawrence Festival.

While eating out is always tempting, nothing quite beats a home-cooked meal. Home chefs living at 1328 Birchmount can gather ingredients from Food Basics on Lawrence East, or they can grab some fresh fish at Diana’s Seafood Delight. Another great option is Lone Tai, an enormous Asian supermarket that’s located less than a kilometre away from the 2150 Condos on Lawrence.

Whether residents prefer to drive or to leave the car at home, it’s easy to get around the city with an address like 1328 Birchmount Rd. For one, residents can reach Lawrence East Station on the Scarborough line in just 7 minutes by using the 54 Lawrence bus, while the 17 Birchmount bus carries passengers to Warden Station on the Bloor-Danforth line in less than 20 minutes. Using the latter route, those living at 1328 Birchmount Rd can travel as far as Union Station in just one hour.

Drivers living at the 2150 Condos also have plenty of choice — especially with two major highways, the 401 and the Don Valley Parkway, both a short drive away from home. The former is useful for anyone heading west toward North York or Mississauga, while the latter carries cars down to the Gardiner Expressway in no time.
