Bayview just right for family

- Lisa Van de Ven

‘Ilove Bayview. I think there’s a certain appeal and regard to the street in general.” So says Marc Nufrio, president of Latch Developmen­ts. And what better way to show that love than to build his newest project there.

The Bennett on Bayview makes the North York neighbourh­ood of Bayview Avenue, north of Finch, its home — an area Nufrio calls “family-oriented.”

“It’s a well- establishe­d neighbourh­ood,” he adds, “close to some of the best schools in the city.” That’s not all — Bayview Village Shopping Centre and Fairview Mall are a short drive away, and highways 401 and 404 are easily accessible. “It’s really connected to the rest of the city.”

50 Steps Whether your family includes kids, dogs or a combinatio­n of both, the neighbourh­ood surroundin­g The Bennett makes family time easy. Across the street there’s the Bayview Arena, home to an indoor ice rink, as well as the Willowdale Off-Leash Dog Park. And there’s also Maxome and Ruddington parks. And there’s a bus stop in front of the site. “It’s three minutes by bus to the Bayview and Sheppard station.”

250 Steps “You’re not living in the city, but you’re not in suburbia either,” Nufrio says of the area. “You have the essential services within walking distance.” And many of those are at the Bayview- Cummer Shopping Centre nearby. There, pick up groceries at Valu-Mart, or pop in for a bite at Swiss Chalet or Harvey’s. There are CIBC and TD banks, or you can pick up a prescripti­on at Main Drug Mart.

1,500 Steps: Less than half an hour by foot and residents of The Bennett can get to the amenities of Yonge Street, including the Finch subway station — making access to the rest of the city a simple next step. “It’s easy to get anywhere,” Nufrio says.

Suites at The Bennett on Bayview, a partnershi­p with First Avenue Properties, range from 505 to 1,766 sq. ft. and are priced from $285,900 to over $1 million.

The sales office is at 3303 Bayview Ave., Ste. 19, North York. It’s open Monday to Thursday from 1 to 7 p. m. and weekends from noon to 5 p.m. Call 416-451-5802 or visit thebennett­condos.com.
