2 bedroom condos in Oshawa

Along Simcoe Street North and Bond Street downtown, where the older high-rises stand, on the King Street West stretch near the Oshawa Centre, and in the newer buildings in Windfields and Samac beside the north campus. A few small condo buildings also sit in Lakeview near the lake and in Centennial off Rossland Road.

Two bedrooms with two bathrooms and a parking space rent readily to students and to hospital staff, and the walk to the campus keeps demand steady through the academic year. Balance that against summer vacancy, condo rules on occupancy and short-term stays, and the City's licensing bylaw for rentals around the campus, which reportedly covers houses rather than apartments but should be confirmed. The team can outline the realistic carrying picture without promising a return.

In the typical 1970s or 1980s tower the fee covers heat, water, building insurance, common-area maintenance, the reserve fund contribution and often hydro and cable, which is why those fees look higher than a new building's at first glance. Newer mid-rises and the campus-area buildings tend to exclude utilities. Weigh the whole monthly figure rather than the fee line.
