1300 Islington Avenue

The Barclay Terrace II Condos stands 28 storeys tall at 1300 Islington Ave, providing a scenic locale only minutes from pubs and restaurants, and also Islington Golf Club and riverside walking trails at Tom Riley Park. Suites on upper floors offer incredible views of the golf course and the river and some lucky residents can even see the skyscrapers in downtown Toronto.

The building is constructed of concrete and displays rows of windows, indenting into the building’s architecture to create incredible window bays inside of the units.

1300 Islington Ave is situated in the Islington & City Centre West neighbourhood — a major business district in the Etobicoke area. The property is surrounded by mature trees, and it’s located just next door to a nearly identical sibling tower: Barclay Terrace I Condos.

This development includes hotel-like amenities; an indoor pool and whirlpool, a fitness centre, a lounge with a fireplace and cozy chairs, a billiards room, media room, squash and tennis courts, guest suites, and underground parking.

1300 Islington Ave contains 242 Etobicoke condos, all of which are surrounded by window walls, and bright with sunlight. Suites have incredibly generous floor plans that start at 856 square feet for a 2 bedroom layout — and suites can be as sizable as 4000 square feet for a 3 bedroom plus den penthouse.

As is often the case with older condos, finishes will vary between units. Most homes have rich hardwood floors and large enclosed kitchens; many of the homes have seen upgrades including stainless steel appliances and stone countertops but dated appliances or undesirable finishes are possible too.

Storage space is never an issue here. Hallways have linen closets and bedrooms have reasonable closets too, with walk-in closets in the main bedrooms. Unfortunately, only some units have private balconies.

The Barclay Terrace II Condos resides in an excellent portion of the Islington & City Centre West neighbourhood. Condo residents can saunter over to Tim Hortons in just 2 minutes for a double-double or sample incredible eateries on Dundas St W; there’s the popular Mai Bistro, Sorsi e Morsi for Italian, and well known fast food chains like Subway.

This area does provide some nightlife with pubs such as Fox and Fiddle on Dundas, and Bloor Street haunts like Orwell's Pub, The Bull Pub and Grill, and Squire & Firkin. Bloor also hosts a number of local restaurants, cafes, variety stores and offices.

There’s shopping west of the neighbourhood at Cloverdale Mall — for a modest offering — and it’s only 11 minutes by car to Sherway Gardens for clothing boutiques, jewellers, tech stores, and restaurants.

1300 Islington Ave is an ideal location for families and empty nesters because the mix of urban convenience and natural amenities provides the perfect balance for family life and fun, and there are several schools close to the building.

The condos at 1300 Islington Ave are suited to all kinds of lifestyles, and prospective buyers who favour travelling on foot will find it particularly attractive; residents can accomplish the majority of errands close to home, and even grocery runs are easy on foot with Food Basics only 2 minute away.

There are bus stops just around the corner on Dundas St W and Islington Station is only 10 minutes south on foot; there are connecting bus routes for residents who need them. Car owners can head south on Islington for the Gardiner Expressway and arrive downtown in roughly 20 minutes.
