Well depending on your lifetsyle, and if you would like to drive to everwhere. Yonge/Eglington has everything you need within walking distance. I know prices are reasonable for you, but that is becuase of many reasons. As someone like yourself you should know that being in an urban community like Y/E, the aprreciation value and demand is greater than a surburban pocket that has limited ammenities within walking distnace. As you said to each is own, but on a real estate level your theory confuses me slightly. Yes granted you do get more bang for your buck, and the building is very nice and made by a a reputable builder, but that area isn't that great. I have been in that area many times for work in the past and I am not sure how a comparsion can be made. Your real estate IQ concerns me. I hope you are not passing this information to your clients.
It sounds as if the area is ideal for you though.
