I think it has been for a while, maybe spring?

Of course, I doubt there's a safe crossing to be built at Karn eh?....Oh well.

This has been long complete now, so I think it merits one more photo.

It won't win any awards, but this has turned out nicely.

Where exactly is this one/3 buildings?

Was it purpose built rent? If so what are rents like, if anyone knows...

Belmont and Gage. Three buildings, purpose-built rentals.

You can find these on kijiji. For example, 1BR for $1500:

$1,500 for 1 bedroom. Wow. Though looking at the pictures, these places do look very, very nice. Says you have to pay hydro -- so one is hoping this has free heating.

2BR at $1900, although they're posting shared pictures for both units. The "New York" decor is somewhat aspirational... KW has a long way to go before being NYC.

Certain parts of the Bronx, perhaps?  Wink

I didn't even realize that this was called "New York decor" so not sure many people would see these units as aspiring to be in NYC.

Trust me when I say, you won't see a one bedroom unit built in this city that will go for less in the future.

Yeah, I know. Nothing new(er) at least. I have friends that are renting that new apartment on Stirling and Homer Watson, and I think the 1-bedroom is something like $1700 -- though I believe it is all-inclusive.

I was talking about the maps of NYC and the wall decorations that actually said "New York". To my knowledge it's not a term that people use.

We have an older 3BR townhouse condo and we didn't manage to rent it out without making price concessions. Definitely not looking at the prices we're looking at here.

There will be affordable units (some much smaller) that will cost less. But I do agree that most will cost more.
