Almost 600 square feet inside. Another 120 square feet outside. And soaring exposed concrete ceilings that make every inch feel even larger. This one-bedroom plus den at Yonge & Eglinton offers the kind of layout that actually works, not just on paper, but in real life. The exposed concrete ceilings give the space a rare, loft-like character you won't find in most condos in the neighbourhood. Combined with nearly 600 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, the unit feels open, airy and genuinely comfortable to live in day-to-day. It starts with a proper entrance hallway, wide enough for a console table, bench or shoe cabinet, before opening into the main living area. The den is perfectly suited as a dedicated work-from-home office, keeping your desk out of the bedroom and your focus intact. The bedroom is properly proportioned, with room for a queen-sized bed, nightstands and additional furniture. No compromises.Step outside and the approximately 120-square-foot terrace gives you a genuine extension of your living space, large enough to entertain, unwind, or simply enjoy the city from your own private outdoor retreat.Then there's the location. Yonge & Eglinton puts you at the centre of one of Toronto's most vibrant and walkable neighbourhoods. Subway, groceries, restaurants, cafés, boutique shops, entertainment and everyday essentials are all steps from your door.And the building delivers. Skip the gym membership.

How this lease stacks up against the local rental market
Estimated Monthly Budget
Things to Confirm Before Signing
· Are utilities included, or separate?
· How many parking spots are included?
· Is the landlord open to a 1-year or 2-year lease?

Utility estimates are approximate and vary by season, habits, and what the landlord includes. Always confirm inclusions with the listing agent.
Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Rent
At $2,200/mo, this is priced below the typical 2-bedroom rent of ~$2,900/mo in Leaside. Well-priced rentals move fast — worth acting on. That said, let's check what's driving the lower ask: landlord flexibility, lease term restrictions, or simply a motivated landlord.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In Leaside's current market, desirable homes often receive multiple offers within 5-7 days. If you're seriously interested, I recommend booking a showing immediately. However, never let urgency override due diligence - we'll still do proper inspections.
Condo Considerations
For condos, I always review the status certificate thoroughly. Key things I look for: reserve fund health (should be well-funded), any upcoming special assessments, rules that might affect your lifestyle (pets, rentals, renovations), and the corporation's financial statements. We'll want to verify the monthly fees and what they include.
Efficient Living
At 500 sqft, this is a more compact space. The upside: lower utility bills, less maintenance, and easier cleaning. Consider how you'll use the space - built-in storage, multi-functional furniture, and good organization become important. Great for singles, couples, or those who prefer a low-maintenance lifestyle.
About Mount Pleasant West
I know Mount Pleasant West well from working with many buyers and sellers here. Each pocket has its own character - let me share what I've learned about this specific street and block. During our showing, I'll point out local amenities, school catchments, and what similar homes have sold for recently.
Lease Terms to Negotiate
Don't just focus on the monthly rent — the lease terms matter just as much. I always advise my rental clients to clarify: what's included (parking, storage, utilities), the lease length options, the landlord's policy on renewals, and whether small personalizations like painting are permitted. These details can make or break your experience over 12–24 months.
