208 Niagara Street

While not known to be home to royalty, you’ll absolutely be feeling regal with a unit in this Toronto Townhouse complex. Sitting at 208 Niagara Street in the King West neighbourhood, The Kings is a community of townhomes, offering 126 spacious suites for residents who prefer more living space than found in most condo buildings.

Of course, given that this is a townhome complex, you wont get all the extras bells and whistles that you would from a modern high-rise, but this complex does provide more amenities than the majority of townhomes; gym, sauna, party room, meeting room, on-site security, and parking garage.

A big draw for potential buyers, is that the Kings has a private community feel, which provides an extra layer of comfort for residents who are concerned about safety — this is especially relevant for families with young children. These townhomes have a lot to offer for young professionals, couples, families, and empty nesters.

If you’re looking for a quiet community and a private living experience, but can’t afford a standalone home, this could be the alternative you’ve been looking for.

King West has become a very desirable neighbourhood in recent years, especially with young buyers, and King West condos for sale are known to have high price tags. First time home buyers might be surprised to know that prices here are quite affordable and suite sizes are generous; it's possible to get an 650 square foot unit here for the price of a studio in more desirable buildings.

Affordable prices are sometimes associated with lacklustre finishes, but that’s not the case at The Kings. Along with a generous allotment of square footage, you get hardwood floors, updated kitchens with stainless steel appliances, private terraces, and some units have multiple floors.

With a variety of townhomes from 1 bedroom to 3 bedroom suites — sizes range from 655 to 1312 square feet — buyers have a lot of choice at 208 Niagara Street, and that choice continues out into the eclectic neighbourhood just beyond your front doors.

The word ‘trendy’ gets thrown around a lot when it comes to neighbourhoods, but for King West — it really applies. Brimming with cozy cafes, quaint pubs, fantastic restaurants, and charming boutiques on Queen, calling this neighbourhood home is a luxury all its own.
