360 Bloor St East sits close to a number of commercial strips, the closest of which can be found on Sherbourne to the east or Church Street to the west. Celebrated for being home to a plethora of delicious restaurants from gastropubs to sushi and even French cuisine, Church Street&rsquo;s eateries often entice those living in the Three Sixty Condos &mdash; especially since many of these spots are about a ten-minute walk from the building.Residents can&rsquo;t possibly eat out every night, though, which is why it&rsquo;s a great there are also so many shops nearby. In the complex across the building, below an office tower that&rsquo;s also home to the General Consulate of India, residents of 360 Bloor Street East can shop at No Frills for inexpensive groceries and Rexall for all the other essentials.

Fortunately for any prospective buyer interested in <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/condos-for-sale">Toronto condos for sale</a> in the building, there are 162 <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/downtown">downtown Toronto condos</a> throughout, which come in a variety of floor plans. Sizes span between around 600 and 2,100 square feet, and consist of one bedroom and two bedroom suites, as well as suites with additional dens.Thanks to the building's architecture, with its abundance of windows, generous outdoor spaces, and indoor solariums, everyone one of these suites feels bright and fresh.

Although residents can walk to many exciting neighbourhoods from their homes in no time, those living at 360 Bloor East are just a short walk away from Sherbourne Station. Traveling along the east-west running Bloor-Danforth Line, Sherbourne is quite convenient. Additionally, passengers who want to head north and south can ride just one stop west before transferring onto the Yonge line.For those who prefer an active commute, Sherbourne Street is equipped with a separate bicycle path running north and south through the downtown core. And for those who work to the east or the west, Bloor Street also features bicycle lanes for safe cycling.And the same streets used by cyclists are also quite efficient for drivers: Sherbourne&rsquo;s traffic tends to move well compared to other downtown Toronto streets. Bloor East becomes even wider east of Sherbourne as it crosses the Don Valley and leads toward the Danforth, a route that can be used to find an onramp for the Don Valley Parkway in about five minutes away.

I’ve lived here 20 years. The building is well managed with polite, helpful staff and excellent amenities. It’s been a great place to call home.
