Live in the heart of Bloor West Village, just a 4-minute walk from Runnymede Subway Station and Bloor Street. This bright, beautifully renovated lower-level apartment offers a clean, modern and comfortable place to call home in a quiet residential neighbourhood, with shops, restaurants, cafés, transit and High Park all just minutes away. Renovated from top to bottom in 2019, the apartment features a smart open-concept layout that naturally separates the living and kitchen space from the sleeping area, creating a spacious feel while still offering a sense of privacy. Please note that the sleeping area is partially open and does not have a door, making the space feel larger and more connected to the rest of the apartment. The suite features nearly 7-foot ceilings with no bulkheads except at the entry, sleek pot lights throughout, and windows in the living room, kitchen and sleeping area that bring in plenty of natural light. The modern kitchen includes stainless steel appliances and ample storage, while a dedicated washer and dryer add everyday convenience. Located in a lovingly maintained home, the apartment offers a quiet residential setting while being steps from the shops, cafés, restaurants and amenities along Bloor Street, with easy access to the subway and a short walk to High Park and other green spaces. Street parking is available. The owners live upstairs and take pride in maintaining a clean, quiet and well-kept home. A great opportunity to enjoy a comfortable home in one of Toronto's most established, walkable and convenient west-end neighbourhoods. Available from October 15, 2026.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Rent
At $1,725/mo, this is priced below the typical 1-bedroom rent of ~$2,300/mo in Bloor West Village. 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 Bloor West Village'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.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Bloor West Village are increasingly scarce and valuable. You'll have no shared walls, full control over renovations, and typically stronger appreciation. Consider the lot size and potential for future additions or basement apartment income. Detached homes also offer the most flexibility for growing families.
Efficient Living
At 700 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 High Park North
I know High Park North 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.
