Most terraces in this building are an afterthought - this one isn't. It's one of the few with the depth and width to actually use, so let's start there: north-facing, generous, and built for morning espresso, after-work wine, or a slow weekend brunch. Whatever your thing is, there's room for it. Inside, this 1-bed at 85 Queens Wharf keeps it clean, with modern finishes that don't try too hard - just good lines and a layout that makes sense. The bedroom fits a queen with side tables and room to move, and connects to a semi-ensuite bath that didn't cut corners on space or style. At 535 sq ft plus a terrace made for summer sunsets, the flow works - nothing wasted, nothing awkward - and parking and locker are both included, which is rarer than it should be. Then there's the building: full-size gym, indoor pool and sauna, outdoor hot tub, basketball and volleyball courts - resort amenities without the resort prices. Location does the rest, with the lake at your doorstep, the core a short walk away, and everything in between - TTC, green space, dog parks, restaurants, groceries, and Union Station. It's the kind of spot where you can ditch the car most days and not miss it. Settle in and let the neighbourhood do the heavy lifting.

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?
· Are pets and small renovations (paint, hooks) allowed?
· When was the last rent increase, if there is a prior tenant?
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
Fairly Priced Rental
At $2,450/mo, this is in line with typical 1-bedroom rents in Downtown Toronto (~$2,300/mo). The rent itself may be firm, but there's often room to negotiate on lease terms — move-in date, appliance inclusions, or parking.
Market Position
At 16 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.
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.
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.
Let's Walk Through It Together
Photos can't tell you about traffic noise, natural light at different times of day, or how well the landlord maintains the property. When we view it together, I'll assess the condition of appliances, HVAC, and finishes — and flag anything that might become a headache. I'll also help you understand the lease terms before you sign anything.
