Camargue II, 10-20 Dean Park Rd: Big 1983 Suites, Pool and Tennis

Camargue II is where I send buyers who want house-sized condo living on the eastern edge of the city, near the Rouge Valley. It is a 432-suite, 12-storey complex from 1983 at 10 and 20 Dean Park Road, with suites up to about 1,750 square feet, an indoor pool and a tennis court. It is large, it is old, and on monthly cost it is one of the better deals in Scarborough. I’m Jatin Dua, RE/MAX Quantum Realty.

A 1980s complex built for space

Camargue II was developed by West Hill Redevelopment Company and completed in 1983. CondoInvestments.ca, drawing on a building database, credits the architecture to Young + Wright Architects and puts the height at about 40 metres. The two addresses, 10 and 20 Dean Park Road, share one condominium corporation, MTCC-624.

The name suggests an earlier Camargue phase, but I could not confirm in public sources which building that is, so do not assume a shared corporation or shared amenities with any neighbour. What you are buying into here is one large corporation of 432 suites.

That size cuts both ways. A big corporation spreads the cost of a new roof or a garage repair across many owners, and it can afford staff and amenities a small building cannot. It also means a larger, more complex budget, and more owners whose decisions shape the building, so the quality of the board and manager matters.

Suites that rival a townhouse

Suites run from roughly 756 to 1,757 sq ft. There is nothing small here. The bottom of the range is a generous one-bedroom by modern standards, and the top is larger than many freehold townhouses in the area.

When I checked, all three suites for sale were two-bedrooms. That is typical of the stock: large two-bedroom and two-bedroom-plus plans that suit downsizers who are leaving a house and refuse to give up their dining room furniture.

Expect early-1980s layouts with separate kitchens, defined dining rooms, real storage and, in many suites, a second bathroom. Expect also that condition varies widely. A fully renovated suite and an original one can sit on the same floor, and the price gap between them can be large, so price the renovation into your offer rather than paying for someone else’s.

A fee that includes cable, but not hydro

Condos.ca lists cable TV, air conditioning, common elements, heat, building insurance, parking and water in the fee. When I checked, the three active listings carried fees of $717 to $728 a month. On suites of this size, that works out to well under a dollar a square foot, which is low for a building with a pool, a tennis court and security.

Hydro is not on the list, so expect your own electricity bill. Bundled cable is usually a bulk contract the corporation signs with a provider, so ask when it expires and what it costs the building. If the board changes or drops it, the fee can move.

The heat and air conditioning are included, which means the corporation carries the cost of running the central plant. In a 1983 building, the age and efficiency of that equipment is worth asking about directly, because its eventual replacement is one of the larger items in any reserve fund study.

Living at Sheppard and Meadowvale

This is the eastern edge of Toronto. The Rouge Valley and Rouge National Urban Park are the area’s big draw, and the Toronto Zoo is in the same corner of the city. For daily errands, you are relying on nearby plazas and on the car more than on walking, and Highway 401 is close for commuters. The data panel on this page has the transit, school and park details.

The neighbourhood is also changing at the edges. Condos.ca lists a small new low-rise condominium of about ten homes at 30 Dean Park Road, completed in 2025, right next door. New building on the street is a sign that builders see demand here, and it is worth checking the City’s development applications for anything else planned nearby before you buy.

What Camargue II costs

Condos.ca puts the building average at about $444 per square foot. That is low even for Scarborough, and much of the discount reflects suite size: large suites always sell for less per square foot, and few buildings in the city have as many of them as this one.

When I checked, three suites were for sale, asking $459,000 to $505,000, with none for lease. Those are asking prices, not sale prices. For suites of roughly 1,000 square feet and more, that is a price many buyers associate with a one-bedroom in a newer tower.

For a sense of the east-end alternatives, Pine Ridge Towers on Eglinton Avenue East also has large suites and averages about $333 per square foot, but it is a much smaller and older 1971 building, and its fee includes hydro. Camargue II costs more per foot and gives you a bigger corporation, an indoor pool and a tennis court in return.

With 432 suites, there are usually enough sales here to price a suite properly against its own building. If you want to see what has actually traded, use my building sold report.

Amenities at Camargue II

An indoor pool, sauna and tennis court give this complex a resort-style package that is rare in Scarborough, and a security guard adds peace of mind for downsizers. Pools and courts are expensive to maintain, so check their condition and their line in the reserve fund study. Condos.ca shows only part of the list, so ask management for the full one.
