Looking for studio condos for sale in the Annex? 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. Studio condos are the smallest and most accessible suites in the building — the listings, map and filters below are kept up to date, so start there and use the sections below to shop with your numbers in mind.
Transit and connections
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.
Condo fees and the status certificate
As the owner you pay a monthly maintenance fee to the condo corporation, covering common-element upkeep, the building's insurance and contributions to the reserve fund — and in some buildings, utilities. Before you buy, your lawyer should review the status certificate: the corporation's finances, reserve-fund balance, rules and declaration, the unit's fees and any planned increases, special assessments or lawsuits. It is the single most important document in a condo purchase, so make your offer conditional on that review.
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.
Budgeting beyond the price
Plan for costs beyond the down payment. Toronto buyers pay both the Ontario land transfer tax and a municipal land transfer tax on closing, which together are usually the largest closing cost — and first-time buyers may qualify for rebates that offset part of them. Add legal fees, title insurance, the status-certificate fee and adjustments. Because the totals depend on price and your status, ask your lawyer for an estimate early so there is no scramble for cash at the finish line.
Studio suites in the area
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.
A studio puts everything in one open space, which makes it the lowest-priced way into ownership here and the easiest unit to carry — smaller mortgage, and usually one of the lower maintenance fees in a building. They suit single buyers, students near the University of Toronto, and investors who want a unit that rents quickly in a neighbourhood with constant tenant demand. The trade-off is space and resale pool, so look closely at the layout: a well-planned studio with a defined sleeping area lives much larger than its square footage suggests.
Buying a studio condo in the Annex
Start with a mortgage pre-approval so you can move quickly, then judge each studio suite on its all-in monthly cost — mortgage, maintenance fee and property tax — rather than the asking price alone. When you find one that fits, make the offer conditional on your lawyer reviewing the status certificate, and confirm what parking, locker and fees come with the unit. Use the live map and filters below to narrow the Annex listings to your budget and must-haves, and reach out when a unit is worth seeing in person.
