    About 280 Donlands AvenueThe East Yorker

    If you’re in the market for a new condo but the idea of a dizzying glass tower makes you weak in the knees, then The East Yorker is a building to be considered. Nestled in the Danforth Village neighbourhood in... you guessed it, the East York area, The East Yorker sits at 280 Donlands Ave — a quiet street tree-lined street. Standing 11 storeys tall and with a total of 105 Toronto condos in the building, this property offers a private setting that can’t be found in a high-rise tower.

    Despite the peaceful location, this building is only minutes from Danforth Avenue and exciting areas like Greektown. As a mid rise building, amenities aren’t as extensive as found in high-rises — games room, party room, meeting room, and shared rooftop deck and gardens.

    This property is a great choice for professionals — young and old alike — couples, families, and empty nesters. Buyers who are looking to break into the market could find some affordable Toronto condos for sale here, but as prices continue rise all over the GTA, affordable is becoming a more subjective term.

    The Suites

    There are 105 units in The East Yorker, available in 1 bedroom, 1 bedroom + den, 2 bedroom, and 2 bedroom + den condos. Units range in size from 535 square feet to 988 square feet. All units are spaciously laid out, have large windows, and are filled with natural light.

    This building was completed in 2015, and as such, all units are move in ready. While you won’t find any fixer uppers here, there is room for improvement, and given the rise of property values, putting your own personal spin on a suite could yield a nice return down the line.

    Prospective buyers can expect to find open concept layouts, kitchens with eye-pleasing backsplashes, stainless steel appliances, and breakfast bars. Some units have hardwood floors in living spaces and others have wood laminate. Regardless of which unit you choose, all residents enjoy private balconies.

    The Neighbourhood

    Are you tired of hearing about trendy neighbourhoods where craft beer flows like water, pedestrian traffic is constant, and nobody ever sleeps? There’s nothing wrong with trendy, but sometimes people need a change of pace — and that’s just what you’ll get in East York. For the record, you can get craft beer here from pubs on Danforth, but they aren’t located on your doorstep.

    From your quiet condo at 280 Donlands Ave, you have dining options just around the corner — you can walk to McDonald's, get a donut at Danish Pastry Shop, get breakfast and a coffee at Ritz Restaurant, or get some ribs at Simba Grill. And if you venture south to Danforth Ave, you have a vast selection of fast food chains, diners, and restaurants.

    In order to have peace and quiet, something has to give — and nightlife takes a bit of a hit in this neighbourhood. Danforth Avenue is where you’ll find most pubs and bars, and its roughly a 15 minute walk away. There are however, a few local watering holes closer to home such as California Pub & Grill on Pape Ave, and Sophie's Sports Bar Ltd on Cosburn.

    Nature lovers may find the area more entertaining; Dieppe Park is a few blocks east, the Lower Don River Trail can be found to the north, and Todmorden Mills Park offers expansive woodlands to the west.

    Transportation

    280 Donlands Ave has a respectable 77 Walk Score. Residents can run most errands on foot, but may need public transit or a vehicle from time to time; Food Basics on Pape Ave is only a 5 minute walk away, so groceries are walkable.

    Public transit users can walk out their front door and catch bus route 56, which has service to Donlands Station for subway lines.

    Car owners can avoid most city traffic by heading south to Danforth Ave for the nearest Don Valley Parkway on-ramp, and from there it’s a breeze to connect to the 401 and Gardiner Expressway.
