2645 Kipling Avenue

Quite the opposite of the slender, glass-clad, soaring condo towers that have appeared in Toronto in recent years, the 2645 Kipling Avenue Condos is sturdy, wrapped in red and grey brick, and was evidently built to last.

The 18-storey residential building at 2645 Kipling Avenue was constructed back in 1978 by Grenadier Investments Ltd. Inside are just over 200 Toronto condos, plus an array of club-like amenities. Residents can forgo a gym or golf club membership and instead make use of the gym, indoor pool, sauna, and tennis court at 2645 Kipling. And last but not least, the building is staffed by a concierge who greets residents and their guests, and ensures everything is in order.

The Toronto condos for sale at 2645 Kipling Ave cater to all sorts of prospective residents, thanks to the variety of layouts and sizes found throughout the building. Suites start at around 725 and reach to approximately 1,200 square feet, and contain one bedroom, one plus a den, two bedrooms, two plus a den, or even three bedrooms. While many suites have been renovated over the years, generally speaking, the building is ideal for those who aren’t after an ultra-modern aesthetic.

The 2645 Kipling Avenue is situated in the Mount Olive, Silverstone & Jamestown neighbourhood, and just steps from the Humber River — albeit a ways north from where this river spills into Lake Ontario. Prospective residents are often drawn to this area north of Finch the fact that it’s much less dense than the downtown core.

While residents may not be able to window shop along streets packed with boutiques and galleries, that’s a tradeoff many are willing to make for all the green space in Mount Olive, Silverstone, and Jamestown. Just behind the building are Humberview Park and Panorama Park, and beyond those are countless parks that line the shores of the river.

When it comes time to stock up on groceries, residents living at 2645 Kipling Ave can drive just 4 minutes in order to reach Albion Mall. This shopping centre contains a No Frills, as well as a Shoppers Drug Mart, a Canadian Tire, and LCBO, and more.

Living at 2645 Kipling is especially convenient for residents who drive. Major highways like the 427, Highway 27, and the 407 are all a quick ride away — although the latter requires a toll. When heading out of town (or reuniting with loved ones) residents can drive to Pearson International Airport in just 15 minutes. Alternatively, the drive all the way into downtown Toronto takes all of about 30 minutes when the traffic is light.

As for those without cars of their own, the 45 Kipling bus comes in handy. Residents can find a stop for this bus just outside 2645 Kipling, and once on the bus, the Etobicoke North GO Station is a 15-minute ride away. The Kipling bus also carries passengers all the way down to Kipling Station on the Bloor-Danforth subway line.
