If you’ve been keeping up with what’s happening on Toronto’s urban development scene, you will have noticed Downsview Park making headlines, and for good reason. This urban, contemporary development delivers the best of the city while providing you with comforts more typical of suburban living.

Ranging in size from 2,970 to 3,150 sq. ft., including lower levels, these three- and four-storey townhomes live up to Stafford’s strong reputation for high-quality, beautiful designs and efficient living spaces. You have the choice of three to six bedrooms, including a full-floor master retreat if you prefer. Great attention has been spent on the details and finishes, from nine-ft. ceilings and hardwood floors to granite counters and stainless appliances in the kitchen – and that’s before upgrades. The design consultants at Stafford’s Design Studio will ensure your home is completely personalized.

Building luxury, sustainable, Green homes that put homeowners close to the action without a commute is a rare opportunity, which is why Stafford Homes jumped at the chance to develop this community. “We’ve designed our new townhome collection while keeping in mind what makes people happy,” says Jonathan Goldman, president of Stafford Homes. “We’re not manufacturing a product here. We’re building spaces that influence how people live their lives and raise their families; a lifestyle that will shape the future of homeowners by its proximity to parks, schools, shopping, theatres, restaurants… It’s about the bigger picture.”

Private, green backyards and garages are a big perk of this collection, one that’s almost never found beyond the urban sprawl. Just steps away from your private backyard is a neighbourhood park, complete with play structure, splash pad and more. That’s in addition to Downsview Park, a dynamic outdoor park that reflects the diverse nature of the surrounding area and plays home to a plethora of educational, sports and cultural events.

Stafford’s new development is where luxury homes, schools, parks and community spirit meet city living. Providing fast and easy access to downtown, you’ll find Hwy. 401 just minutes away, connecting you with the Don Valley Parkway or Hwy. 404 if the north is calling. And Downsview Park subway station, now under construction, is just five minutes away. From there, Yorkdale’s world-class shopping experience is two subway stops away, Bloor and Yonge 11 stops away, and Union Station 15 stops away. By the end of 2017, York University will also be a five-minute train ride away.

Only 155 townhomes make up this exclusive collection, making this an excellent investment opportunity for now and the long-term.
