Facing south on the Harbourfront, with the CN tower behind you, you might think, just for a moment, that you live in some ocean paradise and not in the heart of downtown Toronto. Now if you’re thinking of making the move to the edge of Lake Ontario, be ready to ditch your attachment to solid ground because this is condo country. New buildings, as well as some very well maintained older buildings, have kept people buying condominiums down here for a long time, bringing with them all the amenities one needs to live a civil life (namely Starbucks, Shoppers Drug Mart and an LCBO). Thanks to major investment dollars from the provincial and municipal governments, you’ll also find all the culture you can soak up in a season with the Harbourfront Centre and the Power Plant just footsteps away. And this is just the beginning. Plans promise that this area of Toronto will be comparable to the waterfronts in cities like Chicago and London.
