Do you know where Lisgar Street is?

Do you know where Abell Street is located?

Have you any idea where Sudbury Street might be found?

If you do, you’re probably well-versed in real estate.  If you don’t, it’s okay.  Not many people do…

These three streets run between Queen Street West and the train tracks that divide Queen West and Liberty Village, and all three streets have been home to massive condominium development over the last decade.

But for some reason, the real estate here is cheap when compared to other nearby neighbourhoods in the downtown core.

Why is that?

In today’s Pick5, I’m going to show you five condos located within this small radius, bordered by Dufferin, Queen, Dovercourt, and the train tracks, and we’ll look at the value compared to other downtown pockets, but also explore why this real estate is so cheap.  In case it’s not obvious: there’s a story here.  Or two.  Or three.
