About 44 St Joseph Street — Polo Club II Condos
Does the thought of a cozy condo in a quiet neighbourhood make you hyperventilate? Do you look at open fields of grass and wonder how many ticks are hiding among the blades? If you answered yes to either of those questions, then perhaps an affordable condo in the heart of dowtown Toronto will make you feel at home — and instead of grassy plains and ticks, you get busy streets and a concrete jungle.
Located at 44 St Joseph St in the Bay St. Corridor, Polo Club II 26 storey building which has severed as a desirable residence for over 30 years. The exterior could be characterized as dated — comprised of brown brick with large bay windows, reminiscent of older condo designs. However, if you ever listened to a word of what you were taught in school, then you know not to judge a book by its cover.
You won’t find all the flashy extras like those found in more modern condos, but this building does provide some nice amenities; pool, gym, sauna, security guard, and parking garage. And the benefit of less amenities is lower maintenance costs, so you won’t pay for a bunch of features you don’t use — who really needs a meeting room or a business centre anyway?
The Suites
As jaw dropping glass towers rise all over the city, buildings like Polo Club II continue to offer something that can’t be found in modern condos — space. Suite sizes range from 544 square feet to a whopping 2718 for the largest units. And considering the fact that units here are on the lower end of price per square foot for Toronto condos for sale, you’re bound to get great value.
Given that Polo Club II was built in 1988, some units could be in need of upgrading — which gives you a chance to act out your very own reno show. Buyers can expect to find hardwood floors, mostly modern kitchens, bright units filled with natural light, tall ceilings, large bedrooms, and ensuite laundry. Units don’t come with private balconies, but many feature solariums.
Arguably the best aspect of life in this building is the vibrant neighbourhood that awaits just beyond the lobby doors. The Bay Street Corridor is probably the busiest neighbourhood in the GTA, so provided that your lifestyle is a match for the pace of the area, then you’re in for a treat.
