Students welcome! Space, convenience, and an exceptionally connected Highland Creek location make this 3-bedroom basement apartment a standout option for students, roommates, or families. University of Toronto Scarborough is just a 4-minute drive away, making getting to campus quick and easy, while nearby TTC provides convenient connections throughout Scarborough and beyond. Families will appreciate having two primary schools within walking distance, and the surrounding neighbourhood puts parks, library, trails, and everyday essentials all close to home. Inside, the apartment features a private separate entrance and a practical open-concept living area combined with the kitchen. Three bedrooms each offer closet space for valuable storage, while a full 4-piece bathroom, shared laundry, and parking for one vehicle add everyday convenience. The location is especially hard to beat. Set near Ellesmere and Conlins in established Highland Creek, you're surrounded by the conveniences that make this pocket of Scarborough so practical, with public transit, schools, parks, green space, and the library nearby. With UTSC only minutes away and quick access to Highway 401, it's easy to connect to Scarborough Town Centre, surrounding employment areas, shopping, restaurants, and the rest of Toronto. For students in particular, the combination is tough to beat: three bedrooms to share, parking, transit nearby, and UTSC practically around the corner-all within a quiet, established Highland Creek neighbourhood.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Competitive Rent
At $2,000/mo, this is priced below the typical 3-bedroom rent of ~$3,500/mo in Rouge. 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.
Market Position
At 33 days on site, this property has had reasonable exposure. It hasn't sold immediately (which often indicates overpricing), but isn't languishing either. There's likely room for a 3-5% negotiation from asking price.
Detached Home Advantages
Detached homes in Rouge 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.
Starter Home Potential
3 bedrooms works well for couples planning families or small families with one child. Consider whether you might outgrow the space in 5-7 years. If so, factor in potential moving costs when making your decision. Alternatively, some buyers convert a bedroom to an office and make it work long-term.
