The Annex is one of central Toronto's most walkable, transit-rich neighbourhoods, and 2 bedroom condos here are the most versatile floor plans in most buildings. Searching for 2 bedroom condos for rent in the Annex? Browse the live listings below, and read on for how renting a condo in this area actually works.
What's included, and what to check
Condo rentals vary in what they include, so confirm the essentials before you commit: whether parking and a locker come with the unit, which utilities are covered, and what the building's rules say about move-ins, guests and short-term subletting. Ask to see the unit's actual layout and storage, and check the building's amenities and management — in a condo you are renting into a managed building, not just a unit, and how well it is run shapes daily life.
How renting a condo works in Ontario
Most condo tenancies in Ontario fall under the Residential Tenancies Act, which sets the ground rules for deposits, rent increases and ending a lease. A landlord can ask for first and last month's rent as a deposit, and leases commonly run for a one-year term before going month-to-month. Read the lease and any building rules attached to it, and budget for tenant insurance, which many condo corporations and landlords require.
Location and transit
Transit here is exceptional: the neighbourhood is served by both subway lines, with Spadina and St. George stations linking Line 1 (Yonge–University) and Line 2 (Bloor–Danforth), plus Bathurst and Dupont stations nearby, and the 510 Spadina and 511 Bathurst streetcars running its edges. St. George is a major interchange between the two lines. Day to day you are close to the University of Toronto, Casa Loma, the Bloor Street shops and restaurants, Mirvish Village and the Royal Ontario Museum nearby.
What a 2 bedroom condo offers
Condo supply is concentrated along the main arterials — Bloor Street, Spadina Road, Dupont Street and Avenue Road — in mid-rise and high-rise buildings, rather than the protected low-rise residential interior, with newer development clustered around the Bloor corridor and the redeveloped Mirvish Village site.
Two-bedroom condos are the most flexible rentals in the area — ideal for roommates splitting the cost in a pricey central neighbourhood, couples who want an office or guest room, or a small family that wants to stay close to transit and the university. Layouts range from two genuine bedrooms to a two-bedroom-plus-den, and "split" plans that separate the bedrooms are worth seeking out when you are sharing with someone. Confirm what comes with the unit — parking and a locker are not a given downtown and change the real cost of the lease.
The Annex at a glance
The Annex sits just west of downtown Toronto, bounded roughly by Bloor Street to the south, Bathurst Street to the west, Dupont Street to the north and Avenue Road to the east, wrapped around the western edge of the University of Toronto's St. George campus. It is one of the city's oldest and best-known residential districts, defined by tree-lined streets of large Victorian and Edwardian houses and a long-standing mix of university students, academics, writers and professionals. Everyday life is highly walkable, with groceries, cafés, independent shops, bookstores and the Bloor Street dining strip all within a short stroll and two subway lines for everything beyond.
