Scarborough Fair Condos

Whoever named the condos at 1470 Midland Avenue must have been a fan of Simon and Garfunkel. The developers at RMIC Building Corporation named the Scarborough Fair Condos after the wildly popular 1966 hit, regardless of the fact that the condominium came almost 30 years after the song.Completed in 1992, 1470 Midland Ave contains 273 <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/condos">Toronto condos</a> spread out over 22 storeys. While the building might win over some folk rock fans, condo seekers are typically more attracted to the Scarborough Fair Condos for its amenities. Residents have access to an indoor pool, gym, and sauna, plus the building boasts a concierge, security, and underground parking.

When people think of <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/scarborough">Scarborough</a>, sleepy culs-de-sac and single-family homes with enormous front lawns often come to mind. <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/scarborough/dorset-park-scarborough">Dorset Park - Scarborough</a>, which reaches from Midland to Birchmount and from the Gatineau Hydro Corridor Trail to the 401, may have its fair share of residential streets, however 1470 Midland Ave is situated steps away from countless resources.For one, residents have a pharmacy and a major grocery store right across the street from their homes, on the east side of Midland Avenue. Between both Midland and Lawrence, there are also plenty of restaurants within walking distance of 1470 Midland Ave.Speaking of food, one of the most exciting annual events in Scarborough happens to be right next door, in the Wexford Heights area. Every summer, residents from all over the city flock to Lawrence Avenue East in order to attend the Taste of Lawrence.

Quiet Building, good amount of space for a unit, but the cockroaches are bad, they don't go away. The pest control say you need to clean when everything is already so clean. These cockraoches keep coming even with pest control every month. We were told there are no cockroaches. Some people are smoking weed in the building too and you can smell it in the hallway.

While this condo building is quiet and conveniently located close to transit, it does come with some drawbacks. The neighborhood feels a bit rough, and the presence of cockroaches is a serious concern, which is disappointing for residents. On the plus side, the building’s location near public transportation makes commuting easy, and for those who don’t mind the trade-offs, it offers good access to the city. However, the pest issue and less-than-ideal surroundings are significant enough to lower the overall appeal. It’s a practical choice for some, but definitely not for everyone.

Been renting here for a couple of years and it’s been a good experience overall. The building is older but the unit was clean and in decent shape when I moved in. Staff are polite and maintenance requests get handled fairly quickly. The location is convenient if you rely on transit and there’s a lot of shopping nearby.
