Houses for sale in Waterfront Communities C1.

Houses are rare in Waterfront Communities C1, and that rarity is the story. The best-known are the Victorian rows: the cottages of Draper Street, a one-block heritage conservation district between Front and Wellington streets, and the 1879 terrace on the north side of Clarence Square, where several units now hold shops and offices. A few older semis and row houses survive on side streets in the Wellington Place blocks near Victoria Memorial Square. Most other ground-level homes are townhouses built as part of condominium projects, such as the rows at the base of CityPlace towers, and these are usually sold as condo townhouses with monthly fees rather than as freehold houses. Because so few come to market, a house here is often bought for its character and location rather than its size. When we look at one, we check its heritage status and what changes need a permit, the age of the roof, wiring and plumbing, whether parking is available at all, and how close it sits to rail lines, nightlife or active construction. We also confirm whether a listing is freehold or condominium before you book a showing. We will send new house and townhouse listings in Waterfront Communities C1 the day they hit the market.
