For those who don&rsquo;t know, Joe Shuster Way is named after comic book artist and icon <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Shuster" target="_blank">Joe Shuster</a>, the Toronto born co-creator of Superman! While this fact alone should inspire comic fanatics to reserve a spot, the area around 38 Joe Shuster Way is full of attractions that will entice geeks and non-geeks alike.With neighborhoods like <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/west-end/liberty-village">Liberty Village</a>, <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/downtown/queen-west">Queen West</a> and <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/west-end/little-portugal">Little Portugal</a> so close at hand, residents can enjoy scores of unique boutiques, hip restaurants and happening bars, all within walking distance. As well, many errand-running locations (like banks, grocery stores, pharmacies) are a brief trip away from the Bridge Condos.For entertainment in the area, residents could check out The Theatre Centre, known for its experiential live performances. Alternatively, one might stop for a drink and maybe a musical performance at The Drake Hotel, a popular Toronto night-life spot. Best of all, residents are a stone&rsquo;s throw from the special events held at the Exhibition Place, Ricoh Coliseum and BMO Field.There are plenty of parks in the neighborhood as well. The closest is Rita Cox Park, and several others like Lisgar Park, Dufferin-King Parkette, and Melbourne Avenue Parkette are just a short walk away. Residents could also make a day out of a visit to Trinity Bellwoods Park, an expansive green space perfect for everything from picnics to baseball games and even ice skating in the winter.

38 Joe Shuster Way contains 531 units throughout its 22 storeys. These suites range in size from about 400 square feet to just over 800. A variety of highly customizable floor plans include layouts with 1 or 2 bedrooms and 1 or 2 bathrooms, plus some with dens. The suites also feature private glass-enclosed balconies, offering fantastic views of the downtown skyline and Lake Ontario below.Open-concept living and dining areas are filled with light brought in through large, plentiful windows. Kitchens feature stainless steel appliances, stone countertops, tile backsplashes and sleek cabinetry.

While residents probably can&rsquo;t fly like Superman, moving around the area is convenient enough to make superpowers unnecessary.Many bus routes service the Parkdale neighborhood, while TTC streetcars can be used to move along King, Queen, and Dufferin Streets. The closest subway station is Dufferin Station, on the Bloor-Danforth line.For those who drive, Jameson Avenue can be used to access the Gardiner Expressway. From here, the Financial District can be reached in no time, as can Pearson International Airport and the suburbs surrounding Toronto.

Convenient location, the building is pretty clean, quiet, and the neighbours are friendly. Really close to transit, Shoppers, and Loblaws.
