The action
Agent Rebecca Dunlop took her clients, first time investment buyers, around North York this winter to check out some possible buys priced less than $500,000.

Offers on two properties didn’t pan out, so Ms. Dunlop changed tack and took the search downtown, where they found and purchased this one-bedroom suite at the Bridge building next to Rita Cox Park in early March.
“Units under $500,000 are very popular,” Ms. Dunlop said, “but it’s actually very difficult to get.”
“It was also important they were in a building that was nicely run.”
What they got
Monthly dues of $393 are collected for the cost of water and heating, 24-hour concierge, pool, fitness and games rooms.

“It’s a great investor suite with big functional living space and lots of room for entertainment,” Ms. Dunlop said.
“It also has a lake view, which is amazing. It’s such a nice view and so calming, it’s something that’s unique and not every unit has.”
