250 Scarlett Road & 260 Scarlett Road & 240 Scarlett Road

If you’re a nature lover who has to live in the city, then we have a property for you — situated at 240-260 Scarlett Rd in the York Crosstown area, Lambton Square is a 20 storey building, offering spacious suites and unobstructed views of the Humber River. And with green spaces in every direction, residents of this building never have to stray far for a dose of nature.

Lambton Square was built in 1975 — its exterior follows that of traditional condo design, comprised of brown bricks and concrete. But beyond the somewhat dated exterior, this building is remarkably well maintained, from the gardens out front, to the lobby and suites within.

In addition to spacious units and a nature filled location, this building provides residents with a wealth of extras; outdoor pool and deck, sauna, exercise room, recreation room, library, car wash bay, and parking garage.

With large suites at affordable prices and a commuter friendly neighbourhood, these condos are ideal for first-time home buyers, couples, families, or empty nesters who are downsizing from a detached home.

For most condo buyers, price is the chief concern, and while this building is one of the more expensive properties in York Crosstown, it’s very affordable compared to downtown Toronto condos for sale and floor plans are quite generous; there are 800 square foot 1 bedroom units here which have sold for under $400k — try finding a bargain like that in downtown Toronto.

Suites sizes range from 789 square feet for a 1 bedroom to 1126 for a 3 bedroom. As is often the case with older buildings, finishes will vary from unit to unit, but buyers can expect hardwood floors, sunken living rooms, updated kitchens with stainless steel appliance, floor to ceiling windows, private balconies, and large bedrooms.

Those with north, west, or south facing units have views of the Humber River — but even if you have a unit that faces east, you can walk out your lobby doors and you’re just steps from the river.

In Rockcliffe - Smythe, life moves at a slower pace than in many GTA neighbourhoods; buyers who crave nightlife and excitement are likely to find this area boring, but if you’re a fan of outdoor recreation, then you’ll be right at home here.

As a resident of Lambton Square, you have the luxury or a green space on site with manicured gardens and lush green grass, but with so many nearby parks, you’ll want to explore; from your front door at 240-260 Scarlett Rd, you’re mere minutes from the Humber River Recreational Trail — you can enjoy a peaceful walk or run along the river on tree shrouded paths, and if so inclined, you could follow it all the way to the lake.

Golfers have 2 courses in the neighbourhood — Scarlett Woods Golf Course and Lambton Golf & Country Club — or if you’re planning to be the next Federer you can get started at Eglinton Flats Winter Tennis Club. As well, there are soccer fields, baseball diamonds, and basketball courts in the neighbourhood.

While entertainment options are limited, you have choices for a great meal; there’s New Orleans Seafood & Steakhouse just around the corner, you can get your morning coffee on Scarlett Rd at Tim Hortons or Zaza Espresso Bar, and for more diverse dining choices — head south to St. Clair Ave for Roti Time, McDonald's, Sicily Pizza, Pho Son Vietnamese Restaurant, Shoeless Joe's Sports Grill, and more.

240-260 Scarlett Rd has a 48 Walk Score — womp, womp, womp — so residents will likely need a vehicle or public transit to run errands; for groceries and the essentials, there’s a Food Basics and Janedal Pharmacy on Jane Street.

Public transit users have nearby bus stops on Scarlett Rd, and for longer trips, route 77 can carry you to Runnymede Station for subway lines or Weston Station for GO Transit.

Car owners have a great starting point for their morning commute — heading west on Eglinton will have you on highway 427 in 10 minutes, making it easy to connect to major highways.
