Opened last year in a neighbourhood where nearly half of residents are renters, Sloane by Fitzrovia has 758 units in three towers. They’re not exactly cheap—rents range from $2,100 to $4,250—but 65 per cent of them are two- or three-bedrooms, a rarity in Toronto. The place has all kinds of amenities for littles: an indoor play area, a kitchen zone, a splash pad and playground, and come September, a Montessori-style daycare. But it also caters to the other end of the age spectrum, with some units incorporating wide doorways and accessible bathrooms. Here are some of the other perks that will make smug homeowners jealous.

“It’s like living at a resort,” says Sloane tenant Rena Robinson. “Great views of the city, amazing staff and lots of fun activities, including a meet-and-greet with Bobby Webster, the GM of the Raptors.”
