1369 Bloor Street W

In the immortal words of 2Pac ‘Let’s show these fools how we do it over on this westside, cause you and I know it’s the best side’ — granted, he was talking about California and not west end Toronto, but you get the picture. Most condo buyers are drawn to central and east end neighbourhoods, but there are plenty of amazing buildings in the west, and being able to say westside is the best side, is a luxury all its own.

Situated at 1369 Bloor St W in the Dufferin Grove neighbourhood, beBloor is a 15 storey condo which is home to 238 units. Ideal for first time home buyers and young professionals, these Toronto condos are surrounded by trendy cafes, pubs, restaurants, and transit lines.

If the westside location and urban convenience is not enough to entice you, perhaps the relaxing amenities can push you over the edge; outdoor pool, sauna, gym, party room, media room, function room, security guard, parking garage, and more.

Pet owners are welcome to bring their dog or cat, and there are several nearby parks to walk the dog — or cat, if that’s your thing.

A great location and extensive amenities will only get you so far if your units aren’t impressive; fortunately, suites found inside of beBloor have desirable features like hardwood floors, floor to ceiling windows, modern kitchens with granite or stone countertops, open concept layouts, ensuite laundry and private balconies.

Suites come in a variety of layouts and exposures for studio, 1 bedroom, 1 bedroom + den, 2 bedroom, and 2 bedroom + den units; suite sizes range from 402 square feet for a studio to 859 for a 2 bedroom + den.

The price per square foot for Toronto condos for sale in this building is around average for west end condos — which is lower than those found in downtown Toronto. For investors, knowing that real estate prices continue to push buyers outside of the Toronto core, means that these units are likely to increase in value for a long time.

Many neighbourhoods can claim the title of trendy, but few can claim that title and still offer affordable prices — Dufferin Grove is one of the few. Bounded to the north by Bloor, this neighbourhood offers quiet residential streets lined by mature trees, and vibrant dining and nightlife options on Bloor.

From your home at 1369 Bloor St W, you’re well positioned for a morning espresso, and you won’t need to walk for more than 5 minutes to find one — there’s Propeller Coffee Co. on Wade Ave, Baddies on Lansdowne Ave, Daily Grind on St. Clarens Ave and Noble Coffee Co, Coffee Time, and Shakers Club on Bloor.

For dining out, it’s all about individual taste — Glass Onion Bistro is a great spot for a burger, there’s The Emerson Restaurant for high quality pub food, Bar Neon for Greek, Pho Jade for Vietnamese, and Chito's Pizza And Foods for Shawarma topped pizza. As well, you’ll find plenty of fast food chains nearby like McDonalds, Subway, Pizza Pizza, and more.

Dufferin Grove has a very active nightlife scene — there’s Burdock Brewery for your craft beer fix on a cozy patio, The 47 for a graffiti styled bar that’s open late, The Gaslight is a great watering hole just steps from your building, and The BOND Pub has Karaoke and bar games. Of course, these are only a small sample of what’s available, and half the fun will be discovering your own favorite hangout.

1369 Bloor St W has a 91 Walk Score, perfect for residents who prefer to run errands on foot, and with a Loblaws just around the corner, even groceries runs can be accomplished without a vehicle or public transit.

Those who rely on public transit have a can’t beat location — there are buses right outside your front door on Bloor, streetcars on Dufferin, and Dundas West and Bloor GO are just minutes away for subway service and GO Transit.

Car owners can skirt their way around city traffic by heading south on Dufferin for the Gardiner Expressway.
