Overview
Found on Centre Ave off Dundas Street West and one black east of University, Chestnut Park is a conventional concrete and glass condo tower that offers affordability, strong management, and a great location.
The 22-storey building was completed in 1990, and since then it has been offering over 130 Toronto condos for sale and for rent, just steps from the Eaton Centre, City Hall, Financial District, and major Hospitals, making it perfect for investors, working professionals and first-time buyers. The suites range from bachelor and junior one-bedroom apartments to two-bedrooms plus den, with select penthouse units that feature a large family room. Chestnut Park offers less fancy amenities compared to some of the newer Toronto condos, but the suites are very roomy, the building is safe, and the central location gives residents access to some of the city’s finest art galleries, including the Art Gallery of Ontario, Ontario College of Art and Design, and Village by the Grange.
