Oasis – Soleil, 1730 Eglinton Ave E: All-Inclusive Fees on Line 5

Oasis – Soleil is one of the lowest-priced buildings per square foot on this stretch of Eglinton, and it comes with a fee that covers almost every utility. It is the 1730 address in the Oasis cluster, an Evergreen Villa Homes building of eight storeys, 110-suite building from 2005. Line 5 Eglinton has changed what this location is worth. I’m Jatin Dua, RE/MAX Quantum Realty.

One building in the Oasis cluster

Oasis – Soleil is one of a group of condominiums along this part of Eglinton that share the Oasis name. Evergreen Villa Homes built Soleil, and it sits beside Paradise at the Oasis at 1720 and the original Oasis at 1700, and from the street they read as one development.

They are separate condominiums, though, and they should be judged separately. Each has its own corporation, budget, reserve fund and board. When you compare fees or read about amenities, make sure the information is for TSCC-1678 and not a neighbour.

At eight storeys and about 27 metres, Soleil is a mid-rise rather than a tower. With 110 suites, that is a relatively small corporation, with the usual trade-off: a quieter building, but fewer owners to share the cost of major repairs.

The shared name does have one practical benefit. When Soleil has had few recent sales, sales in the neighbouring Oasis buildings give you a second reference point for the same location and era, as long as you adjust for each building’s fee inclusions and condition.

A fee that covers hydro

Condos.ca lists common elements, heat, hydro, air conditioning, building insurance, parking and water in the fee. That is close to all-inclusive. Most owners here pay little beyond the fee except internet and their contents insurance.

That changes how you should compare buildings. A newer building nearby may quote a lower fee, but once you add a hydro bill, heating and cooling and a parking charge, the total monthly cost is often similar or higher. Do the comparison with real numbers from both status certificates.

The trade-off with bulk hydro is that everyone pays the same share, whatever they use. Ask whether the board has discussed installing suite meters, because that would be a capital project and would change your monthly costs.

It also makes budgeting simple. For a first-time buyer moving from a rental where utilities were included, a fee that already covers hydro, heat and cooling means the monthly number on the status certificate is close to the real monthly cost of living here, apart from property tax, internet and insurance.

Practical, mid-sized suites

Condos.ca lists suites from about 636 to 1,075 square feet. There are no tiny studios and no very large suites, so the building is a good fit for one- and two-bedroom buyers who want real living space without paying for a large plan.

In a 2005 building, assume many suites still have original kitchens, bathrooms and flooring. That is not a problem if the price reflects it, and a modest renovation in a suite of this size is manageable. Get a quote before you offer, not after.

Condos.ca’s amenity tags include pets, but I have not seen the rules themselves. If you have a large dog or more than one pet, read the declaration and rules in the status certificate before you firm up.

Look at storage too. Ask whether a locker comes with the suite, and whether the parking space is owned or assigned, because both affect resale and neither is obvious from a listing.

Eglinton East after Line 5

For years, this stretch of Eglinton near Victoria Park Avenue was a car-oriented corridor of plazas and mid-rise buildings. Line 5 Eglinton, the Crosstown LRT, opened along Eglinton in early 2026, and it gives owners here a direct transit route across the middle of the city.

The Golden Mile, the commercial strip to the east along Eglinton, is one of the city’s larger planned redevelopment areas, and new transit tends to speed that kind of change up. For owners at Soleil, that means more construction nearby, more condo supply on resale, and over time more shops and services within reach.

The panel beside this review shows the nearest stations, schools and parks. Day to day, most errands here are still a short drive or a transit ride, and the Don Valley Parkway is close for drivers.

The lowest per-foot figure in this group

Condos.ca puts the building average at about $539 per square foot. That is the lowest of the six north Toronto buildings I track in this group, below Viva South Tower on Bathurst at about $610 and well below Savoy at Camelot in Don Mills at about $727.

Some of that gap is location and age. My view is that resale prices along Line 5 are still adjusting to the new line, and that is part of the opportunity for a buyer who plans to stay.

There were no suites listed for sale when I checked, which tells you supply here is thin. If you want to buy in this building, register for alerts and be ready to move when a suite comes up. Ask me for the sold report and I will show you what has traded.

Amenities at Oasis – Soleil

The package covers what most owners use: concierge, a gym and sauna, guest suites and rooms for gatherings. TalkCondo and liv.rent also list a pool, but condos.ca does not, so confirm whether there is one and whether it belongs to this corporation or is shared with the neighbouring Oasis buildings.
