Location luck: Yorkdale Village Townhomes Phase 2 is close to it all

Building on the success of the first phase, which is over 90 per cent sold, Yorkdale Village is growing. A collection of 99 stacked townhomes, the second phase of Yorkdale Village Townhomes is situated in a centralized part of Toronto that’s suitable for students, families, empty nesters and everyone in between.

The Decade Homes project is located at Wilson Avenue just west of Dufferin. Steps from the Wilson subway station, commuters will find the fast access to downtown core especially handy though the area is easily well served by a number of buses as well. Plus Highway 401 is just south of the project and Allen Road is right to the east.

Need we tell you about Yorkdale Mall? The shopping centre is just south of the community and boasts more than 250 shops and enough luxury retailers to rival Yorkville in downtown Toronto. For everyday purchases, the Smart Centre at Downsview is home to a Best Buy, Home Depot, Michaels and more. There’s also a Costco nearby, perfect for stocking up on all kinds of staples.

And the list goes on. If you’re looking to send your kids to school there are a number of options in the neighbourhood. Or if you’re a would-be student, York University is not far off. An exciting new addition to the area is the Humber River Region Hospital, an acute care hospital that is currently under construction. When it opens in 2015, it will be Canada’s first totally digital hospital.

Neighbourhood parks come in all shapes in sizes such as the expansive Downsview Park to smaller neighbourhood green spaces and playgrounds. However, if you’d prefer your own private outdoor space, many of the towns come with large rooftop terraces.

Suites are available in a number of different layouts from 1 bedroom, 1 bedroom plus den, 2 bedroom, 2 bedroom plus den and 3 bedroom. Prices range from $250,000 to $500,000.
