24 Southport Street

The classic red brick façade at 24 Southport Street looks as though it could have been built in any fairly recent decade. And thankfully, there’s nothing that really screams 80’s in the interior of the building, either. Built by Tridel in 1989, the South Kingsway Village III Condos reaches to 8 storeys and contains just 125 west end Toronto condos. And while 24 Southport itself is rather intimate, the building is part of a larger complex that’s home to three buildings in total, including South Kingsway Village I Condos and South Kingsway Village II Condos.

In fact, the South Kingsway Village feels like it’s own little village — for lack of a better word. Cars entering the complex must first stop for a security check at a gatehouse, and besides the buildings themselves there are plenty of outdoor common spaces for residents to enjoy. There’s even a courtyard with barbecues and picnic tables that’s perfect for summertime grilling. Other amenities at 24 Southport St include a gym, sauna, and indoor swimming pool, as well as a concierge and underground parking.

With homes consisting of anything from studios to two bedroom plus den suites, all sorts of prospective residents have the chance to find something suitable at 24 Southport St. Plus, none of the Toronto condos for sale and rent in the building are miniscule by any means, with suites ranging from around 670 to approximately 1,000 square feet.

Layouts at the South Kingsway Village III Condos feature spacious living areas, some even boasting separate dining rooms. Many of the kitchens contain convenient pass-through windows, and both sunrooms and terraces are common throughout the building.

The High Park and Swansea neighbourhood covers the area just east and west of High Park, or in other words, residents living in the area have access to a (shared) 400-acre backyard. 24 Southport St is situated just southwest of the park, north of Lake Ontario and east of the Humber River, so when the weather cooperates, residents can often be found exploring the parks, trails, and shores surrounding their homes.

Residents ready to run some errands can head over to the Queensway, a busy commercial road that’s home to grocery stores, restaurants, big-box stores, and more. Those looking to stock up on bulk items can visit Costco, while residents planning to do some redecorating can visit IKEA, both of which are located on the Queensway.

Couples in need of a date night can head to Cineplex Cinemas on the Queensway, or they can stroll along the Martin Goodman Trail. Those who opt for the latter should make sure to stop at Sheldon Lookout for an unparalleled view of Toronto’s skyline.

Getting around the city is easy with an address like 24 Southport St. Residents who drive can reach the Gardiner Expressway in just minutes, and once on this major highway they can head east into the city centre or west toward the 427 and the rest of Etobicoke. Thanks to its location close to the Gardiner, residents heading out of town can also reach Pearson International Airport in as little as 15 minutes.

Those who prefer not to drive, on the other hand, can use the 501 streetcar to reach destinations in Parkdale or West Queen West, or to travel toward Osgoode and Queen subway stations. The 77 Windermere bus also comes in handy, as it carries passengers to Runnymede Station on the Bloor-Danforth subway line in just over 5 minutes.
