The Brock Lofts

The Brock Lofts have it all: history, convenience, and style. 27-31 Brock Avenue was once home to the Eureka Refrigerator Factory, although the building has been inhabited by numerous residents between those days and its residential conversion in 2003. A sizeable factory churning out phonographs also operated out of this location back in the day.After a careful renovation of this historic structure by Brock Investments Inc., 24 hard lofts were fashioned out of the two-storey building. Aesthetically speaking, the exterior of the Brock Lofts is traditional, yet understated, which is no surprise after learning that the vintage edifice dates back to the 19th century. The building is clad in a red brick that simple cannot be emulated the same way today.While a huge lineup of amenities is nowhere to be found at 27 Brock Avenue, what the building does offer residents is just enough for some prospective buyers: an ideal location, a <a href="https://strata.ca/blog/are-pet-restrictions-enforceable-in-toronto-condos">pet friendly atomosphere</a>, and a rooftop terrace with barbecues for all to use.

It&rsquo;s very likely that anyone interested in an authentic hard loft will also enjoy a neighbourhood that&rsquo;s home to so many. The <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/west-end/parkdale">Parkdale neighbourhood</a> is more industrial, hip, and laid back than the central downtown core, and its lack of glass towers only proves this point more.Along Queen West, residents will find endless options for eating out, shopping, and entertainment. From vintage shops to the best homemade jam in the city, entire Saturdays can easily be spent exploring the immediate vicinity.And for convenience&rsquo;s sake, residents of the Brock Lofts can quickly walk over to the Beer Store on Brock, the LCBO on Queen, or FreshCo on Gladstone in order to stock up for the week.

The homes at Brock Lofts range considerably in size, meaning listings in this building will interest everyone from first-time buyers to retirees looking for a pied-&agrave;-terre in the city. Floor plans range from approximately 350 to 1,400 square feet, with some suites even covering multiple floors.These <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/lofts">Toronto lofts</a> are great for throwing parties, especially for hosts in the business of making their guests jealous. Industrial elements are everywhere one looks, while the open-concept layouts keep these lofts clean and simple.Hardwood flooring, wooden beams, exposed brick walls, ductwork, and wooden ceiling panels can be found throughout 27 Brock Avenue. Natural sunlight illuminates these details, entering spaces through expansive windows or skylights. And to top it all off, ceilings can reach to 21 feet depending on the unit &mdash; try finding that in most <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/condos-for-sale">Toronto condos for sale</a>... spoiler alert, you won't.

Traveling to and from home is easy here; residents need only walk 2 minutes in order to reach Queen Street, where they can then catch a streetcar heading east into the centre of the city.Alternatively, drivers might want to avoid the TTC altogether. Thankfully for this group, Jameson is just a few blocks away, from which one can hop onto the Gardiner Expressway. From there, a ride all the way to the east end, or even up to Pearson International Airport, is straightforward and speedy.

West End

Parkdale has an 83 Walk Score, so if you want to run errands in a pair of sandals, it can be done &mdash; proper footwear is optional. The neighbourhood has great public transit, with streetcars on King, Queen, and Dufferin, and Exhibition GO is south of the neighbourhood for longer trips.Car owners have a driver friendly location &mdash; a rarity in Toronto &mdash; as the Gardiner Expressway is just to the south, making it easy to connect to major highways.

The first settlers of Parkdale moved into the area in the early 1800s &mdash; long before you could get an americano on every corner &mdash; and by 1879, the village of Parkdale was established. The opening of Sunnyside Amusement Park in 1922 turned Parkdale into a desirable vacation spot for Torontonians. However, in 1955 when construction of the Gardiner Expressway began, the amusement park was demolished, and Parkdale faded from prominence for a time.In recent years, Parkdale has become a desirable spot for people of all walks of life. Home ownership is low in this <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/west-end">west end Toronto</a> neighbourhood, and the majority of residents live in apartments or Parkdale condos. On tight residential streets you&rsquo;ll find Victorian homes, many of which have been converted into rental units. The area is dotted with small parks, and along the waterfront lies extensive green spaces which extend for kilometres to the east and west.With both King and Queen Street running through the neighbourhood, residents have an array of restaurants, cafes, boutiques, and pubs nearby. The CNE is located on southern boundary of Parkdale, as are event centres and athletic clubs. As well, there are an abundance of recreation activities available in lakeside parks; running trails, baseball diamonds, tennis courts, rowing and yachting.There are several schools in the neighbourhood, daycares, and seniors&rsquo; homes. Masaryk - Cowan Community Centre offers youth programs, and there are social services available in the area for disadvantaged citizens.
