Library District / Reviews

Library District is a condo developed by Context Development in 2014. It has 364 units across 29 storeys. Located in Cityplace, an area known for its lower-quality condos, the Library District is one of the better condos in the area. It is a good consideration for end-users entering the real estate market. Things I like: - The building has a variety of amenities, including a gym, party room, visitor parking, and concierge, among a few others - Majority of units have hardwood floors - Nice west-facing views that overlook Fort York - Maintenance fees haven't increased in the past two years (I believe that's due to them replacing a previous condo manager) - The building is clean and well-maintained - Pretty good outdoor noise insulation, which is vital due to its proximity to the train tracks Things to consider: - Lower quality of finishes in the kitchen - The gym in the building is relatively small - The noise insulation between the unit and the hallway can sometimes be a problem, but unit-to-unit noise insulation is still good - Based on the experience of current residents in the building, I heard that flooding is a common issue in certain unit types - There is planned construction directly North of the building, which will impact north-facing views - Location gets busy during rush hour, and sports games

The condo is clean, well maintained and super organized. The balconies have gaps that could be dangerous, but the views of the city and lake are great. The gym is fully equipped and management is responsive to any issues I raise.
