145 Hillcrest Avenue

Part of a 3 tower development, 145 Hillcrest Ave rises to 22 storeys, situated beside its sibling towers: Carlyle Condos II and Carlyle Condos III.

The Carlyles Condos is a large tower with a boxy, traditional frame. The design has lost popularity since the late 90s, but prospective buyers should note that these buildings create enormous floor plans — so buyers get great bang for their buck.

Commuters will adore the location in the Cooksville neighbourhood, as the building is just a 3 minute walk from Cooksville GO Station and also minutes from a QEW on-ramp. Businesses are located close-by, with clusters of restaurants and retail stores around Dundas St W and Hurontario.

Condo residents have excellent amenities to unwind after a long day; tennis courts and squash courts, tree shrouded benches, a rooftop games room and patio, a whirlpool and saunas, and a great party room for hosting events. Plus, the building includes convenient extras like guest suites, parking, and a concierge service.

Homes at 145 Hillcrest Ave provide a bit more room to stretch out than the average condo; suites range in size, beginning with 633 square feet for the smallest 1 bedroom layouts, and stretching up to 1300 for the most spacious 2 bedroom plus den. Floor plans are available from 1 bedrooms to 3 bedroom layouts, and there are plus den units too.

These Mississauga condos come with hardwood flooring throughout, and feature window bays and bright sunrooms. Most units have traditional layouts, with a separate kitchen and dining room. Buyers could encounter brand new finishes or relatively dated features — it all depends on past occupants.

In any case, these condos would make for an excellent renovation, as the floor plans have generously sized bedrooms and bathrooms, and there’s plenty of storage.

145 Hillcrest Ave affords residents with a location that’s steps from everything. Condo residents can stroll to Sgt David Yakichuk Park in seconds — and there's a playground for kids — for a peaceful walk under the trees. Families have T. L. Kennedy Secondary School just minutes away on foot, and salons and daycare centres are just around the bend on Dundas St W.

Residents have the option to walk or drive to nearby restaurants — there’s lots of parking — and there’s a great mix of fast food chains and unique local restaurants at the intersection of Dundas and Hurontario: local standouts include Tarboosh Restaurant on Confederation Parkway and Orchard Family Restaurant on Dundas. As well, there’s countless more dining options to be found to the north on Burnhamthorpe.

Any avid shoppers might need to have a budget planning session before venturing out because condo residents are just a 6 minute drive from Square One Shopping Centre — the second largest mall in the country — and the outrageous shopping selection found within; high-end clothing boutiques, big box retailers, tech stores, and so much more. Home chefs can pick up ingredients even closer to home at local food markets clustered around Hurontario and Dundas.

These condos are great for running errands on foot. Those who rely on public transit have a bus stop right outside the building, and Cooksville GO Station is a hop, skip, and a jump from the building. Car owners can turn onto Hurontario Dr and go south to find the closest QEW on-ramp.
