121 Ling Road

As the name suggests, the Scarborough Wood Condos is an ideal fit for prospective buyers who value the great outdoors. This high demand tower is situated in the West Hill neighbourhood which is almost entirely surrounded by green spaces and also bounded by Lake Ontario to the south.

121 Ling Rd places residents only steps from restaurants and shops on Lawrence Ave E as well as a natural green space at Deekshill Park. In addition to neighbourhood amenities, condo residents enjoy a plethora of recreation focused amenities; an outdoor pool, tennis courts, a reading room, saunas, a fitness room, an all-purpose workshop, a games room, an event room, and more. As well, there’s a small green space on-site.

Condo residents have parking and available guest parking for friends and family. This building is quite popular, so should buyers struggle to find something here they may be able to locate a unit nearby at Morningside Estates Condos.

121 Ling Rd contains 279 Scarborough condos within its 18 storey frame. Occupancy began back in 1979, so prospective buyers should bear in mind that unit features and finishes could vary between homes. Suites in this building provide plenty of living space — the smallest floor plans in the building are just a hair below 800 square feet and units can reach up to 1800 square feet.

Most homes follow older style layouts with enclosed kitchens, though it’s possible to find open concept units as many of these condos have been upgraded over the years. These units tend to have hardwood flooring throughout and modern kitchens with plenty of cabinetry. Large window bays fill living rooms with sunlight, and the covered private balconies offer tranquil views.

For buyers leaving Downtown Toronto behind, West Hill will bring about a startling change of pace. This neighbourhood has an old world feel, where winding residential streets have large sidewalks and are set on deep lots. Parks dot the area, and community pools like Heron Park Outdoor Pool fill up with children on the weekends.

Families at 121 Ling Rd are only steps from Joseph Brant Public School, and Heron Park Community Centre for after school programs and athletic facilities. Lawrence Ave E hosts a number of local restaurant chains as well as well known brands; local standouts such as Burger St are bound to impress.

There are big box stores in the area around Kingston Rd, and additional retail options are located at Cedarbrae Mall. Recreation activities are mostly geared towards families and outdoor enthusiasts — who will adore the scenic trails at East Point Park.

West Hill isn’t exactly renowned for its pedestrian friendly environment, at least not for errands, but 121 Ling Rd is a convenient location in the neighbourhood and residents can get some things done without a vehicle. Condo residents can walk to Food Basics and Shoppers Drug Mart in less than 10 minutes.

Public transit is limited in the area; there are bus routes on Lawrence Ave E and Morningside Ave that connect to Guildwood Station for GO Transit, but service can be slow in some pockets. Car owners who commute to downtown Toronto can go north on Morningside Ave for the 401 and arrive in the downtown core in roughly 35 minutes.
