It’s a convenient, well-maintained building with suites to serve all lifestyles from bachelors to shared bedrooms.
TTC across the street: Not only does One Bedford have a Starbucks coffee shop on the ground floor and a Shoppers Drug Mart around the corner, but the building is also across the street from the St. George subway station, which connects to both Toronto transit lines for safe and smooth downtown travel.
Saltwater pool: One of the top amenities at One Bedford is the indoor saltwater swimming pool. With tiled columns, waterside lounge seating, and bright window walls, the soothing atmosphere is reminiscent of a Roman bath, an ideal place to enjoy complete relaxation.
