Not bad for a student or first-time buyer. It’s not fancy, but it has everything you need - pool, gym, parking. I wish the finishes were a little more modern, but that’s what you get with older buildings. No regrets so far.

I’ve owned a unit for a while and honestly think it’s one of the best kept older condos downtown. Maintenance fees are fair, amenities are simple but clean and it doesn’t feel overcrowded like newer towers. Solid investment and easy to rent out too.

Security is hit or miss - some are friendly, others just stare at their phones. Also had a package go missing once. The location is amazing though (Close to College Station)and the units are a decent size if you can get one that’s been updated.

The Penrose is super convenient if you're working in the medical or university district. I walk to work at the hospital in under 10 minutes. The building isn’t flashy, but it’s reliable and well kept. Elevators are fast and I’ve never had issues with noise on my floor.

Been here almost a year. Great experience, older building but has pool, jacuzzi, gym and more. Three elevators, central HVAC and helpful management and security. Not much else you need in Toronto

Old building but great amenities and three elevators. The concierge is gone most of the time but the staff is really nice.
