Why rent a condo
Renting a condo is different from renting in a purpose-built apartment building. You typically get newer finishes, in-suite laundry and access to amenities like a gym or party room, but your landlord is an individual owner rather than a property-management company, so service and stability depend on that owner. The upside is choice — individual units come up across many buildings — and the chance to live in exactly the layout and location you want.
About the Annex
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. 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. 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.
Before you sign a condo lease
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.
Where the condos are
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.
That puts the area's condos along a handful of well-connected streets rather than spread evenly, so the right search depends as much on building and corridor as on price.
Condo sizes in the Annex
Condos in the Annex come in the full range of sizes, and the right one depends on how you live. A studio is the smallest and most affordable, suiting a single tenant or a student near the University of Toronto. A 1 bedroom adds a separate room with a door — the comfortable baseline for one person or a couple. A 2 bedroom is the most versatile, working for roommates, a guest room or home office, or a small family. A 3 bedroom is the largest and rarest, for families who want to rent in the area without buying a house. Use the size options below to jump straight to the listings for each, every one with its own live count.
Getting around
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.
Beyond transit, the area puts you near the University of Toronto, Casa Loma, the Bloor Street shops and restaurants, Mirvish Village and the Royal Ontario Museum nearby, which is part of why condos here hold steady demand.
