The Yonge-St. Clair neighbourhood is a desireable destination for homebuyers that want more…a lot more! Neatly tucked away within this family-friendly & business professional neighbourhood, is a fantastic condominium complex called The Oaklands, that is comprised of two, low-rise buildings. Dimensionally generous condo units is just another reason to give The Oaklands a peek when looking for a great new home!The construction of The Oaklands complex was completed and open to buyers in 1981 by Canlea Ltd. (developer) and DuBois + Associates (architect). The Oaklands are comprised of two buildings, 315 Avenue Road (standing 3 storeys tall with 67 units) and 20-40 Oaklands Avenue (3 storeys tall with 52 units). The 315 Avenue Road condominium won a Canadian Architect Award of Excellence in 1979, and a Governor Generals Metal for Architecture in 1983. The exterior façade of The Oaklands condominiums are of Late Modernist architectural style, with the use of two-tone brickwork, transparent glass and smoky-grey steel accents around ‘boxed’ windows. What really makes The Oaklands stand apart from other low-rise condominiums are the five, vertical chimney features.The interior condo units range in sizes, layouts and exposures, beginning with 2 bedrooms at 514 square feet and scaling up to 2 bedrooms + den at 2207 square feet. Homebuyers interested in The Oaklands condos can anticipate in-unit features that show many upgrades and updates. Some of these in-unit features are hardwood & laminate flooring, modern kitchen appliances with breakfast bars/kitchen islands, updated bathrooms with soaker tubs & large showers, large closet spaces, gorgeous sun-filled solariums and large windows.The in-building amenities consist of a parking garage with guest parking spaces, a rooftop deck with landscaping & seating area, security guard services, enter phone system and onsite services of the friendly staff from Crossbridge Condominium Services. The Oaklands is an established condominium complex and has shown (through the historical average PSF) to have great potential for a positive return on investment, very good news for homebuyers of all levels!Being tucked away from the hustle of this city (situated within the street borders of Avenue Road, Cottingham Street and Oaklands Avenue), The Oaklands condos provide that tranquil oasis homebuyers are always searching for, but still within easy range of transportation options and amenities that can be walked to.TTC transit bus stops can be found all along Avenue Road (which is just steps away from the lobby doors of these condos), with St. Clair subway station close by at St. Clair Avenue & Yonge Street. Avenue Road northbound will bring buyers to Eglinton Avenue, which acts as a direct route to access the highway 401 (west on Eglinton Avenue to Allen Road) and to the Don Valley Pkwy (east on Eglinton Avenue).Families with children of school age have great access to schools in this neighbourhood (Cottingham Junior Public School, Brown Junior Public School, Avenue Road Arts School and The York School – Middle & Senior Public School). There are also multiple parks within walking distance from The Oaklands condos (Lionel Conacher Park, Marlborough Place Parkette, Robertson Davies Park, Jay MacPherson Green, Sergeant Ryan Russell Parkette, MacPherson Avenue Parkette and just south of Avenue & Roxborough is Ramsden Park & Recreation Trail (if the Ramsden Park Trail is taken all the way to the east, it meets Yonge Street at Crescent Road, which is where Rosedale subway station can be found as an alternate to St. Clair subway station).St. Clair Avenue and nearby Yonge Street are excellent sources for a plentiful, local array of amenities like restaurants, professional offices, medical clinic, cafes, business services, grocery stores, banks, gas stations and more.
