Condo residents don&rsquo;t have a backyard, they have something better &mdash; Knob Hill Park inplace of a backyard. This large green space is equipped with an outdoor pool, playgrounds, nature trails, and lots of open space to run around or fly kites. There&rsquo;s a school within walking distance and Scarborough Knob Hill YMCA is just north of the park.When the mood strikes, residents of 1346 Danforth Rd can stroll to the local standout Tasty Jollof Restaurant and Lounge, which serves incredible African cuisine. There&rsquo;s Diamond Pizza for a slice and New Can Cey Restaurant for Sri Lankan. For more options, Eglinton Ave is only a few minutes south for an assortment of fast food chains and local restaurants.Boutiques are sprinkled along Eglinton Ave E &mdash; specialty stores and big box retailers &mdash; and there&rsquo;s a large selection to the west in the <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/scarborough/clairlea-golden-mile" target="_blank">Golden Mile</a> neighbourhood; from clothing boutiques to tech stores and of course, more big box retailers. This area also hosts some great restaurants and a cinema for movie nights.

The units at 1346 Danforth Rd follow open concept layouts and are available in a variety of floor plans from studios at 453 square feet to 2 bedroom plus den units at 949 square feet. These condos are an excellent fit for first-time home buyers as finishes align with starter homes, rather than executive condos.Prospective buyers can count on efficient kitchen layouts with breakfast bars and full-sized stainless steel appliances. Prep space can be tight, and most units have ceramic countertops, unless upgraded. Again, buyers will note that laminate floors are more common than hardwoods, and some units have carpet in the bedrooms.All suites have private covered balconies and stacked laundry. Though finishes might not dazzle buyers, there's great value here and these suites are a few upgrades away from being very impressive.

Danforth Village Estates isn&rsquo;t a particularly great building for buyers who like getting things done on foot, as only small errands can be completed without a car. Public transit is a better way to get around thanks to nearby bus stops on Bathurst St, connecting to Kennedy GO for train service and Kennedy Station for subway lines.Car owners are a bit isolated from highways and will need to exercise some patience as they make their way west on Lawrence Ave for the Don Valley Parkway.

Clean and beautiful building overlooking Knob hill park. I visited a friend here and was impressed with how it was kept and the concierge. Would definitely live here if I moved to Ontario.
