Property management in High Park.
High Park is two rental markets around one big park: a cluster of post-war apartment towers north of Bloor, and Edwardian houses and duplexes on the streets south and east. Both draw tenants who want the park and Line 2, and both need steady capital care.
Buildings and housing in High Park
North of Bloor, between Keele and Runnymede, streets like High Park Avenue, Quebec Avenue, Gothic Avenue and Glenlake Avenue are lined with purpose-built rental towers and mid-rises from the late 1950s through the 1970s, mixed with older houses. South of Bloor and east toward Roncesvalles, roads like Indian Road, Glendonwynne and Parkside Drive hold large brick houses from the 1900s–20s, many split into flats. Bloor Street West has low-rise retail with apartments above, and Bloor West Village begins just past Runnymede. Some newer condos have gone up along Bloor near Keele and High Park stations. Many towers have underground garages and outdoor pools now well past their original design life.
Who rents in High Park
Renters include families and couples who want the park and a subway stop, seniors with long tenancies in the towers, and professionals commuting downtown on Line 2. St. Joseph's Health Centre and the Junction's employers are nearby. The towers turn over slowly, and many tenants have been in place for well over a decade. Larger flats in houses stay full, and units close to High Park or Keele stations lease quickly. Dog owners and runners are drawn by the park itself, and say so in applications.
Managing property here
The towers north of Bloor fall under RentSafeTO and need ongoing capital work: boiler and elevator modernizations, balcony and parking-garage repairs, window replacements. Tenants here have organized around above-guideline increases, so capital projects need thorough documentation, early notice and open communication. Converted houses south of Bloor require fire separations, interconnected alarms and attention to old plumbing and tree roots in sewer laterals — the street trees are big. Mixed-use buildings along Bloor need flat-roof care and retail lease administration. See apartment building management for how we run tower operations and capital planning. Outdoor pools and older garages need seasonal inspections and clear closure notices.

What should I know before a capital project in a High Park tower?
Tenants here pay close attention to above-guideline increase applications. Plan the work with clear notices, keep invoices and photos, and talk with tenants early. We prepare the schedule, records and notices so the project and any later application are well documented.
Do you manage converted houses on Indian Road or Parkside Drive?
Yes. These large houses often carry three or more units. We check fire separation and alarms, set up separate leases, and plan upkeep of roofs, masonry and old plumbing so the building stays in good shape between turnovers.
