    About 1600 Keele StreetSolara Condominiums

    Situated at 1600 Keele St, Solara Condominiums is a modern high-rise with a unique exterior; rising to 15 storeys above a stylish podium, featuring colorful glass panel accents and a unique U-shape, this building is anything but ordinary.

    Built in 2005 by GenerX Corporation, Solara Condominiums is home to 182 well-appointed units in the Keelesdale - Eglinton West neighbourhood. In addition to desirable suites, this building provides residents with some nice extras — gym, party room, meeting room, shared rooftop deck, security guard, and parking garage.

    One of the best aspects of living in this building is the incredible location — sitting on Keele Street, this property is virtually surrounded by restaurants and retail stores. And for those who love nature, there are multiple nearby green spaces to enjoy and natural scenery along Black creek.

    While these condos hold some appeal for all condo buyers, first time home buyers and young professionals are likely to find this property most appealing.

    The Suites

    Solara Condominiums is one of the most expensive condos in the York Crosstown area; however, compared to downtown Toronto condos for sale, these condos are downright affordable. Units within this building have great value, and represent an excellent opportunity for first time home buyers who are trying to break into the market.

    Condos come in a variety of layouts for 1 bedroom, 1 bedroom + den, 2 bedroom, and 2 bedroom + den units; suite sizes range from 444 square feet to 903 square feet. Buyers can expect hardwood floors, modern kitchens, open concept layouts, floor to ceiling windows, and private balconies.

    As a condo owner in this building, you have the Keelesdale - Eglinton West neighbourhood to explore; commuter friendly and quiet, with a reasonable selection of restaurants and retail stores, residents of this neighbourhood have convenient location in an up and coming area.

    The Neighbourhood

    Keelesdale - Eglinton West might not be at the top of your list of desirable neighbourhoods, but it shouldn’t be discounted. Covering a large swatch of land between Eglinton Avenue and Rowntree Avenue, Keelesdale - Eglinton West provides its residents with a blend of quiet residential streets, green spaces, and urban convenience.

    If you consider yourself to be a ‘foodie’ then you’re in for a treat; from your front door at 1600 Keele Street, you’re only steps from Subway, A&W, Pizza Nova, King's Chicken, Golden Wheat Bakery Café, and Kokyo Japanese Restaurant. Continue east on Rogers Road and you have St Matthew's BBQ Chicken, North of Brooklyn Pizzeria, Nova Era Bakery, Caloura Bar & Grill, and many other unique restaurants.

    Thrift shoppers and lovers of vintage fashion can hunt for gems next door at Value Village. On Rogers Road you have several boutiques for fashion, pet supplies, furniture, musical instruments and more. For high end shopping, you can take a trip north — you’ll need a vehicle or public transit — for Yorkdale Shopping Centre.

    Entertainment options tend to be recreation focused — there are athletic facilities at York Recreation Centre which house a swimming pool, a basketball court, a fitness centre and an indoor track. Nightlife options are in short supply, but Canecas is a sports bar that’s just around the corner from Solara Condominiums, and there are a few pubs on Rogers Road.

    Transportation

    Concerned about walkability? Have no fear, because 1600 Keele Street has an 89 Walk Score; residents have a multitude of service based businesses in the neighbourhood — salons, auto repair shops, and specialty stores — and there are nearby grocery stores and drugs stores for the essentials.

    Public transit users have bus stops just around the corner on Keele Street, Rogers Road, Old Weston Road, and Weston Road. There are no Go Stations or subway stations in the neighbourhood, but residents who use public transit to commute have buses to take them east on Eglinton Ave W for Eglinton West Station and subway lines.

    Car owners who commute have a great starting point — head north on Keele and then east on Eglinton for Allen Road, and from there it’s easy to reach the 401.
