distinction-condos-neighbourhood-section-one-right-bgFinding just the right neighbourhood for you.

The search for the perfect neighbourhood often starts with just plain instinct. If you are familiar with the city of Toronto, you may know a few of the communities and what they offer – and what they don’t. And you may have a sense of connection to some of those neighbourhoods. Of course a lot really depends on what you’re looking for – what lifestyle or “stage of life” you’re currently planning for with your next move.

Toronto Life Magazine recently evaluated 140 different neighbourhoods in the Toronto area. Housing, Crime, Transit, Shopping and Health were the top 5 categories. See what they say Toronto Life Neighbourhood Rankings

distinction-condos-neighbourhood-section-two-left-bgYonge and Eglinton ranks number one.
Using the same criteria as their previous study in 2013, Toronto Life Magazine found the city has changed dramatically in terms of desirable neighbourhoods to live in. Rosedale, one of the most sought-after and the prevailing highest ranking community in Toronto, plummeted from top spot down to number 18 based on their rating system.
The neighbourhood with the highest scores turns out to be Yonge and Eglinton. Coincidentally, this is where the Lash Group decided to create their newest condo development – Distinction Condos. Just slightly northeast of Forest Hill and just south of Lawrence Park sits this thriving community with all the right ingredients for living. From affordability, increasing value, mixed housing types and transit, Yonge and Eglinton just makes a lot of sense for anyone looking for their next home.

Distinction Condos – perfectly situated.
Sitting between Yonge Street and Mount Pleasant Road and just one block south of Eglinton is where a discerning few will soon call home. Distinction Condos sits on a quiet residential street, just a five minute walk from the thriving corners of Yonge and Eglinton. A short stroll from Distinction Condos takes you to those stores, restaurants and all convenient transit options this neighbourhood currently offers. Soon you’ll have even more choice with the completed Eglinton LRT. Distinction Condos will contain larger floorpans than most condos in the area and will sell fewer than 160 suites. A limited number of townhouses will also be available.
