19 Rosebank Drive & 29 Rosebank Drive & 28 Rosebank Drive

Not all condo seekers are in search of a traditional condo, per se. Those hoping to live in something resembling a house without having to worry about property maintenance might be best suited to buildings like the Markham Gardens Condos. The charming Toronto townhouses at 19 Rosebank Drive, 29 Rosebank Drive and 28 Rosebank Drive were built in 1999 by Aspen Ridge Homes, with the property home to only a few amenities like security and underground parking with visitor spots.

Those who opt for a home here can also avoid having to access their residences via a lobby and an elevator, while still being part of a community of 442 homeowners and renters (and their respective roommates).

Another great reason to choose a townhouse over a condo is the privacy offered by the former. Each of the homes at 19 Rosebank Drive span three storeys and contain separate rooms — a far cry from the open concept layouts frequently found in contemporary towers.

With the Toronto condos for sale here containing two bedrooms, three bedrooms, or three bedrooms plus a den, and spanning between 1,300 and 2,300 square feet, the building is a great spot to raise a family. And to top it all off, condo seekers interested in these townhomes can expect to find eat-in kitchens, enormous master bedrooms, and ground level outdoor space.

Malvern and White Haven is a large Scarborough neighbourhood that stretches from McCowan Road to the Rouge River and Collins Road, and from the 401 to Finch. A quick glimpse at a map will reveal winding culs-de-sac, and a drive through the neighbourhood proves just how idyllic these residential streets really are.

Residents living at 19 Rosebank Drive also have access to plenty of commercial businesses, many of which are set up along Sheppard Avenue East. Grocery shopping can be done at the Food Basics at Markham Road and Sheppard, while the corner of Sheppard and Morningside is home to a number of big box stores as well as a Cineplex movie theatre.

The Toronto Public Library’s Burrows Hall branch and Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto are also both located on Sheppard, just a short walk away. And while both of these venues provides programming for all ages, kids living in the complex might beg for a trip to the Toronto Zoo once they find out it’s a 10-minute drive away.

Whether residents at 19 Rosebank Drive are car owners, it’s easy for them to get around the city. Those with cars will come to rely on the 401, a major highway (North America’s busiest, in fact) that carries drivers east and west across Toronto.

Anyone who prefers to forgo traffic jams and hefty parking fees, on the other hand, can use the TTC to reach their destinations. The 102 Markham Road bus stops just around the corner from the complex before making its way toward Warden Station on Bloor-Danforth. Then there’s the 134 Progress bus, which carries passengers to McCowan Station on the Scarborough line in about 10 minutes.
