Reasonably priced Cambridge condo

SOLD



Approximately 920 square feet 2 bedroom condo, with new washer and dryer. The carpeting was ripped out leaving bare concrete. You could leave it as is for an industrial look, or finish the floor yourself - have a new one installed in a day or two to your own taste and budget. Flooring referrals can be provided.

The unit is freshly painted in white.

North facing, so you're not incinerated or blinded by the sun.

On the fifth floor with insulated windows, so street noise is inconsequential.

The balcony can be enjoyed most of the year weather permitting.

Close to the 401 hwy, so commuting into Mississauga, where property ownership can be out of reach,  takes about 40 minutes or less. Regular "Go" buses drive direct into downtown Toronto.

Essential shopping and dining options are next door as well as dental and medical services. New and planned retailers are or will be within walking distance.


A five minute drive to Puslinch Lake, which is North America's largest kettle lake. Old Marina Restaurant will fill you up. The Niagara Escarpment is close too.


Langdon Hall is fifteen minutes away.


The Stratford Festival is thirty minutes away.


Within a ten minute walk is the Heritage College & Seminary. A slightly longer journey is to University of Waterloo's School of Architecture based in south Cambridge. Students at both schools could be renters.

As an investment the property will only appreciate. For north of $178K, a buyer could rent it out for $1200/month. Monthly condo fees are about $340, which includes pool use and a parking space.

Google "200 Jamieson Parkway, Cambridge, Ontario" to confirm price competitiveness with other building comps.

Forward inquiries to "richard.cassel@alumni.utoronto.ca" with "200 Jamieson" in the subject line.

I don't buy it


" ... (a high school coach) told me that the people you get to know (in university) will dictate the rest of your life - the contacts you make at this stage in your life will be your contacts for life. I bought that."
