Though some real estate agents still insist on calling it “upper Bloor West Village,” a popping arts and coffee scene makes this train-tracked neighbourhood hot in its own right. Here are some recent sales.
318 Indian Rd. Cres.
List price: $465,000
Sold price: $472,000
Last sold price: $225,000 (2002)
The skinny: Whoever renovated this bungalow really made the most of a small space. The two basement bedrooms are quite big and have decent windows. The master bedroom is in a peaked attic space with a stained-glass window (there’s no mention of central air to relieve summer stuffiness). The backyard has a shed and an interlocking brick patio.
78 Medland Ave.
List price: $595,000
Sold price: $601,000
Last sold price: $415,000 (2005)
The skinny: This classic brick semi as an apartment in the basement. In the back, a mudroom leads out to a nicely landscaped yard and laneway parking. The main house has hardwood flooring, three reasonably sized bedrooms and a new bathroom.
416 Maybank Ave.
List price: $349,500
Sold price: $335,000
Last sold price: $134,000 (2009)
The skinny: This open-concept semi is north of St. Clair, so perhaps it’s not in the Junction proper. But it’s close enough to take advantage of the neighbourhood’s amenities, and it’s been nicely renovated to let in lots of light. The bathroom is fresh and new, but has only a shower, no bathtub.
152 Annette St., Unit 101
List price: $429,000
Sold price: $438,000 (maintenance $397)
Last sold price: N/A

The skinny: Newly opened last fall, the 34-unit Victoria Lofts make the most of an early-20th-century church. This 850-square-foot unit has one bedroom plus a den, and features some exposed brick, exposed beams on the 12-foot-high ceiling, and has its own little private patio with gas hookup. Locker included.
