Wellington Place, Toronto

Wellington Place is a dense, high-rise condominium neighbourhood in downtown Toronto, made up mostly of apartment towers set along a street grid, with a few small green spaces between them. The area is built up vertically. Most buildings are condo apartment towers, and most of the homes sold were built between 2013 and 2023, so the housing stock is recent and modern in style. Streets follow the regular downtown grid, with short blocks, and the parks are scattered among the towers instead of forming large open tracts. Condo apartments made up 96% of the 934 homes sold in the last 24 months. The typical home had 1 bedroom. The median sale price over that period was $640,000, and the median time on market was 28 days. There are currently 103 homes for sale. Lot sizes for detached and semi-detached houses are not on record, and such houses are a very small part of the sales. No train or subway stations are on record inside the area. Getting around relies on the surrounding downtown network, including the streetcar lines on King Street and Queen Street, and the major roads of Spadina Avenue, Bathurst Street and Front Street. The Gardiner Expressway runs along the southern edge of the downtown core and gives highway access. Shops and services are of the kinds usually found in a downtown residential district: cafes, restaurants, grocery stores and pharmacies, mostly on the ground floors of buildings and along the main streets nearby. Wellington Place has eight parks: Adelaide Place Parkette, Clarence Square, Draper Park, Portland Street Parkette, Robert Grasett Park, Simcoe Park, St. Andrew's Playground and The Alex Wilson Community Garden. They range from small parkettes to larger squares and include a community garden. Two schools are inside the area, both run by the Toronto DSB: ALPHA Alternative Junior School and Oasis Alternative Secondary School.
