Colgate, Courtyards & Chimney Swifts. Suite 402 at 88 Colgate is proof that you don't have to choose between a great location and a quiet retreat. Set into the building's north courtyard, this one-bedroom looks past the treeline to the historic smokestacks next door (yes, the chimney swifts come with the view) and glimpses of the Riverdale rooftops beyond. Enough sky to catch a proper sunset, enough green to forget you're in the city.This isn't your typical one-bedroom. Custom closets throughout add real storage where most units come up short, and recent upgrades mean the big-ticket items are already done: new washer and dryer (2026), new fridge (2025), and updated lighting in the kitchen, bathroom, and entryway (2026), plus a new Ecobee thermostat and light fixtures.The chef's kitchen delivers on both form and function, with a gas range, quartz countertops, full-sized appliances, and smart storage. The open living space flows beautifully, with exposed brick, natural light, and room to host or unwind. Comfortably fitting a king, the large primary bedroom offers a real retreat with a view of its own. The private balcony, just off the living space, works overtime as your warm-weather living room.Parking and a locker are included. The building itself is one of Leslieville's favourites, with a 24/7 concierge, ground-level gym, and party room, all a short walk to Ricky and Olivia, Masa's Deli, Mercury Espresso, and Petite Thuet, plus transit that puts downtown and the Danforth within easy reach.This is Leslieville at its best - private, polished, and ready for you to move in.

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Premium Pricing
At $1238/sqft, this property is priced above the Leslieville average of $950/sqft. I'd want to see upgraded finishes, premium location, or recent renovations to justify this price point. During our showing, I'll point out exactly what you're paying extra for.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In Leslieville'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 South Riverdale
I know South Riverdale 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.
Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Leslieville properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $2,579 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
