Hi, I'm new to this forum. I don't really have any serious plans as of yet, so I don't want to talk to a realtor, but I figured you folks are the experts on all things condominium-related, so I was wondering what kind of condos there are in Toronto. I live in PEI right now with my girlfriend (just temporarily. she is an artist who likes to travel.), but I am relatively familiar with Toronto.
I am wondering if there are any concrete or brick or stone condos in Toronto, particularly ones in historic buildings.
I know there are a lot of "main street" style buildings in Toronto, with the shops on the bottom and the apartments on top, and many of these are in old buildings, but are any of these actually condos?
I see some brick and concrete condos when I have driven through Toronto, but all of these are either just partially concrete or brick, or have the huge windows, and the glass and steel balconies which I don't care for. The facade of the building is something very important to me, and coming from a small town with lots of historic buildings, I feel like Toronto will be a difficult city for me to move to unless I settle for something sub-par (according to my taste, anyway).
