Address: 1100 Lansdowne Avenue, Unit A10 Neighbourhood: Pelham Park Agent: Dominic Gemmell, Century 21 Regal Realty Inc., Brokerage Price: $699,000 Previously sold for: $464,000, in 2013

Unlike most industrial lofts, this one actually has a patio.
As beautiful as the unit is inside, the surrounding neighbourhood is mostly stacked townhouses, and there isn’t much retail in walking distance. The neighbourhood does have one definite redeeming quality, though: Earlscourt Park.
