Dovercourt | Wallace Emerson-Junction

Dovercourt condos and lofts are continuously being developed in order to meet the demands of smart young families who have scoped out the real estate scene and decided that this is it. Although the areas maintain a slightly rougher aesthetic due to the maturation of many buildings, this means prices here remain more in reach than in neighbourhoods with shinier streetscapes.Much development of large factories and warehouses has occurred in recent years; seven acres of what previously functioned as an industrial warehouse has since become the Wallace Emerson Park, complete with a designated BMX area, bocce ball courses, artificial ice rinks, and more.Unlike many neighbourhoods which have clusters of residential buildings, properties are fairly dispersed throughout the neighbourhood and all residents enjoy a great location&mdash; though Dovercourt condos are some of the more desirable and pricier properties, with desirable hard lofts like <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/40-westmoreland-ave-west-40">West 40</a>.North of Bloor, homeowners or potential buyers will find many single family homes, as well as a number of apartments, condos, and lofts.
