829-835 St Clair Avenue W

Nestled in midtown Toronto in the Wychwood neighbourhood, The Nest Condos is a stylish 10 storey building, located 829-835 St Clair Ave W. The multi-tiered cream, grey, and black exterior gives the building a contemporary look, adding to the appearance of the neighbourhood rather than taking away from it.

Wychwood definitely moves at a slower pace than downtown Toronto neighbourhoods, but there’s no shortage of urban convenience on St. Clair Ave W. In addition to a convenient location, The Nest Condos provides residents with some nice extras — gym, party room, meeting room, shared rooftop deck, library with fireplace, pet spa, and concierge.

A major draw of living in midtown is that prices are often lower, which makes Toronto condos for sale here an ideal opportunity for first time home buyers. With that being said, this property is well suited to anyone who doesn’t mind limited nightlife options — professionals, couples, families, and empty nesters.

If you’re tired of towering high-rises with 300+ units, this building is going to feel like a breath of fresh air. There are 117 Toronto condos in The Nest Condos, and while that doesn’t make it a boutique residence, it does ensure that you’ll see far less foot traffic around the property.

Despite being able to offer affordable units — these suites don’t skimp out on the finishes; all units are bright and spacious, with hardwood floors, 9 foot ceilings, floor to ceiling windows, and private balconies. As well, suites are equipped with gourmet kitchens, featuring European style cabinets, granite or quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances.

Buyers have several layouts to choose from to match their needs, with suite sizes that range from 464 square feet to 1508. Units are available in 1 bedroom, 1 bedroom + den, 2 bedroom, and 2 bedroom + den floor plans. For those interested, there are penthouse units with expansive terraces in excess of 300 square feet.

Wychwood is a charming neighbourhood, one which balances urban convenience and access to nature. Sure, there are other neighbourhoods in the GTA which achieve this balance better like The Waterfront, but not at such affordable prices.
