Living here
Renters, Airbnb and elevators at Dwell City Towns
Do mostly owners or renters live here?
Renter-heavy building. Of 5 deals here in the last 24 months, 5 were leases and 0 were sales. A high lease share usually means more investor owners, more move-ins and a deeper pool of rental comparables.
Can you Airbnb a unit at Dwell City Towns?
No active City registrations here right now. In Toronto you can only host in your principal residence, a whole unit for at most 180 nights a year, with a $390 yearly registration and 6% accommodation tax. You cannot buy here to run it as a full-time Airbnb. Check the condo’s rules in the status certificate before you count on it.
How reliable are the elevators?
Ontario requires residential buildings to report any elevator outage lasting 48 hours or more, and this address has none on record. Elevators still need modernizing every 25 to 30 years, so check the reserve fund study for the date.
Sources: TRREB MLS® System lease and sale counts; City of Toronto short-term rental registrations (Open Data, 18 Oct 2026); TSSA Residential Elevator Availability portal.
Before you buy here
Five things the listing will not tell you about Dwell City Towns
- Reserve fund health. Ask for the latest reserve fund study and its date. A thin fund in an older building usually means fee jumps or a special assessment.
- Special assessments and big repairs. Check the status certificate for planned levies and for balcony, garage, window or elevator work.
- Insurance deductible. Find the corporation’s deductible for water damage. If it is higher than your own policy covers, raise your coverage before closing.
- Fee trend. Compare this year’s budget with last year’s. Rises of 2–5% a year are typical; bigger jumps need an explanation.
- Lawsuits and rules. Look for legal claims against the corporation, and for rules on pets, short-term rentals and leasing.
Send me the status certificate and I will flag anything that matters before your conditional period runs out.

Dwell City Towns, at 3–35 Applewood Lane with addresses also at 2 Holiday Drive and 7 Applewood Lane, is a Menkes townhome community of roughly 196 homes near The West Mall and Holiday Drive.
Menkes as developer is the best-confirmed attribution of any building in this part of Etobicoke — three independent sources agree. The community deliberately mixes one-, two- and three-level homes in three named collections, which is genuinely useful to know and also explains why published storey counts for it contradict each other.
Three collections, one corporation
The original sales material describes three product types within the community:
| Urbana | One- and two-level homes, roughly 643–949 sq ft |
| Metreo | Two-storey homes, roughly 1,071–1,287 sq ft |
| Habitat | Three-level homes, from about 1,506 sq ft |
That mix is the reason one source calls this a three-storey complex and another says two: both are describing real homes within it. If you are comparing listings here, check which collection a unit belongs to before comparing price per square foot — they are effectively three different products sharing one corporation.
What is confirmed, and what conflicts
Developer: Menkes Developments, confirmed by three independent sources including 2013 launch coverage. This matters more than it sounds — most of the townhouse corporations in this part of Etobicoke have no verifiable developer at all.
The corporation is TSCC 2680, corroborated by two sources rather than one — again unusually good for this area. Being a TSCC standard condominium with underground parking and shared common elements, it is not a freehold or common-elements arrangement. Nadlan-Harris Property Management is named as manager by one source.
Year: two sources say 2018, one says completed 2017. Marketing coverage dates the sales launch to November 2013.
Units: one source says 196; another says 196 in its prose but 148 in its own data table.
Suite sizes: 643–1,663 sq ft from two sources; 649–1,800 from a third.
None of these is resolvable from public sources. All are answerable from the status certificate and the registered declaration.
Parking
Secure underground parking with bicycle spaces, plus bike storage and visitor parking. These are not homes with private driveways and attached garages. That is a meaningful distinction for anyone moving from a house, or anyone with two vehicles — confirm exactly how many parking units come with the specific home, and whether they are owned or exclusive-use common elements.
The neighbourhood
Etobicoke West Mall, near The West Mall and Holiday Drive, north of Burnhamthorpe and close to Highway 427. Sources name Wedgewood Junior Public School, Millwood Junior School and Olivet School in the area, along with Broadacres Park and Capri Park, and the Etobicoke Civic Centre Art Gallery. Sales material cited Sherway Gardens, Centennial Park and Cloverdale Mall.
Note the school names are drawn from a listings database’s proximity data. School boundaries change, and proximity is not the same as attendance eligibility. If schools drive your decision, confirm the current catchment directly with the TDSB or TCDSB.
What I could not verify
- The architect. No source names one.
- Whether the built year is 2017 or 2018.
- The true unit count — 148 or 196.
- Any published litigation, special assessment or major repair.
The takeaway
Dwell City Towns is the newest and best-documented townhome community in this pocket of Etobicoke, from a builder whose name is actually verifiable, with a genuinely useful mix of home sizes from about 640 square feet up past 1,500. Two things to nail down before offering: which of the three collections the home belongs to, since that drives everything about the comparison, and exactly what parking is included, because this is underground shared parking rather than a driveway and garage.
