3 Condos Where “Downsizing” Feels Like “Upsizing”
Posted:
If you’re ready to downsize into a condo, you may be worried about moving from a detached house to a small unit. Fortunately, that’s not the case with the right units in the best buildings!
The reasons for downsizing are many: lifestyle or health changes, retiring, finding a building with your favourite amenities, or simply not wanting the fuss of shoveling and lawn care. Whatever the case, you often don’t need to sacrifice space for lifestyle.
Here are three condos in the Waterloo Region where “downsizing” feels like “upsizing”.
The Glen Royal
There is no substitute for square footage. For those wanting to leave behind house maintenance without sacrificing space, the Glen Royal is the answer.
Sprawling across nearly 1,800 sq ft of bright interior space (approaching 2,000 sq ft with outdoor areas), this rare 3-bed, 2-bath residence offers the true scale of a home with lock-and-go condo security.
Common elements also boast recently updated lobby and hallway carpets, with an extensive resurfacing of the on-site tennis courts starting soon. The pool, gym, and sauna are all major bonuses that come with downsizing to the right building.
Westmount Grand
This expansive corner suite, spanning over 1,400 square feet, redefines condo living with a floor plan that refuses to compromise on space or style.
The chef-inspired kitchen serves as the heart of the home, boasting rich granite countertops, a sleek tile backsplash, abundant cabinetry, and a substantial eat-at island designed for both culinary creativity and casual entertaining.
Residents enjoy a fitness center with a dedicated yoga area and saunas, an elegant lobby sitting area, and a breathtaking party room in the sky featuring a rooftop patio that provides front-row seats to spectacular sunset vistas.
Caroline Street Private Residences
155 Caroline Street South, Waterloo
The luxurious two bedroom plus den, two bathroom units at Caroline Street are designed to impress, without sacrificing on size. Even though they are slightly under 1,000 square feet, the layout, location, and amenities more than make up for the shortfall.
Situated in one of the region’s most sought-after neighbourhoods, this stunning residence offers far more than a place to live—contemporary architecture, upscale finishes, and its atmosphere balances luxury with everyday livability.
Get breathtaking city views from a private balcony, access to a large, elevated and beautifully landscaped outdoor space including a putting green.
With current condo prices, there's never been a better time to downsize. You'll be updating your lifestyle without sacrificing space — as long as you know where to look!
