30 Dundalk Drive Townhouses: 1978 Dorset Park Homes With Garages

30 Dundalk Drive is the townhouse complex on a street most people know for its apartment towers. It is a 76-home condominium from 1978, just off Kennedy Road in Dorset Park, and it gives you a garage, a backyard and a basement inside a condo corporation. Its age is the thing to manage, and I will tell you exactly where to look. I’m Jatin Dua, RE/MAX Quantum Realty.

A townhouse complex on a street of towers

Dundalk Drive runs west off Kennedy Road between Ellesmere Road and Highway 401, and the buildings you notice first are the towers: Kennedy Place at 100 Dundalk Drive, from 1976, and 120 Dundalk Drive, from 1978. Number 30 is a different kind of property. It is a low-rise condominium townhouse complex of 76 homes, registered as YCC-407 on 4 August 1978.

That date puts it in a cluster of Scarborough condominium corporations registered in the summer of 1978. The tower at 120 Dundalk is YCC-405, registered about a week earlier. I could not find a developer named for number 30, so I would not assume the two share a builder. Treat them as neighbours from the same moment in Scarborough’s growth, not as one project.

The difference matters for your money. In a tower, the fee pays for elevators, a lobby, corridors and a central heating plant. In a townhouse complex like this one, the corporation’s budget goes into roofs, siding, windows, the private road and the grounds, and you heat your own home.

Two storeys, a garage and a basement

Current listing details describe two-storey townhouses with a built-in garage, a finished basement and a fenced backyard, heated by gas forced air with central air conditioning. Above-grade living area is listed in the 1,000 to 1,199 square foot band. That is modest next to a freehold house, but the basement and the yard add a lot of usable space that an apartment cannot.

The basement is where these homes earn their keep. Listings describe lower levels finished as family rooms, and in some cases as a self-contained space with its own kitchen and bathroom. If you are counting on a lower-level suite for family or rental income, ask whether the work was permitted, and read the declaration and rules on leasing before you put any rent into your budget.

After nearly fifty years, condition varies a great deal from home to home. Some owners have opened up the main floor and replaced kitchens and bathrooms; others have kept much of the original layout. Price each home on its own merits, and ask the seller what they replaced themselves, such as the furnace, air conditioner or windows, and what the corporation has done.

A fee that covers the shell, not your heat

Condos.ca does not publish a fee inclusion list for this complex. Current listing details report that the fee covers common elements, building insurance, parking, water and cable TV. Heat and hydro are not on that list, so with gas forced-air heating you should budget for your own winter bills on top of the fee.

Ask Eastway Property Management exactly what the corporation maintains. In many townhouse declarations the corporation looks after roofs, exterior walls, windows, fences and the private road, while the owner handles the interior and often the furnace and air conditioner. Every declaration draws that line differently, and where it sits changes what a given fee actually buys you.

A complex registered in 1978 has already been through at least one full round of roofs, windows and paving, and may be into its second. That is normal. The question is whether the reserve fund study shows the next round planned and funded, or whether the corporation is likely to need a special levy. The status certificate and the last few years of board minutes will tell you.

Kennedy Road, the busway and the subway extension

Dorset Park is one of Scarborough’s older neighbourhoods; most of its housing went up in the 1950s, with Kennedy Road running through the middle as a commercial strip of stores, offices and towers. From Dundalk Drive you are close to the big-box retail at Kennedy Commons, between Highway 401 and Ellesmere Road, and to the 401 itself if you drive to work.

Transit here is being rebuilt. The Scarborough RT, Line 3, is closed, and blogTO reported that its replacement busway, running from Kennedy Station through Lawrence East and Ellesmere stations and then along priority lanes on Ellesmere Road to Scarborough Town Centre, was set to open on 30 September 2026. The Line 2 subway extension from Kennedy Station to Sheppard Avenue and McCowan Road is expected around 2030.

Your actual routes and walking times are in the data panel on this page, so check them against your own commute. The practical point for a townhouse buyer is that the area’s connections should improve while you own here, but the subway itself is still years away.

What 30 Dundalk Drive costs

When I checked, there was one townhouse listed for sale here and none for lease. I do not quote a single listing’s price or fee on these pages, because it identifies one owner’s sale, and one asking price is not a market anyway.

Condos.ca also does not publish square footage or an average price per square foot for this complex, so a clean per-square-foot comparison with the towers on the same street is not possible. The comparison I would make instead is total monthly cost: mortgage, fee, property tax, heat and hydro here, against an apartment at 100 or 120 Dundalk Drive where the fee includes most utilities but you give up the garage, yard and basement.

With only 76 homes, sales here come up occasionally, so the best evidence is what comparable homes actually sold for over a longer window. I can pull the recorded sales for you through my building sold report, or we can go through them together on a quick call.

Amenities at 30 Dundalk Drive Townhouses

There is no gym, pool or party room here, and for a townhouse buyer that is usually the point: with no recreation centre to run, more of the budget goes to the roofs and roads that hold the value. BBQs are permitted, which matters if you plan to use the backyard the way you would at a house, and visitor parking helps when family comes over.
