Get My Free Estimate →Golden Gate is York Condominium Corporation No. 29, registered 21 January 1971 — among the earliest condominiums ever created in Ontario. Twelve storeys, 141 units, on Longbourne Drive in Willowridge.
Two things make it worth a page of its own. Its maintenance fee is the most all-inclusive I have found in north Etobicoke — hydro, cable, air conditioning and parking are all in it. And the bus stop is two metres from the door.
A fee that covers essentially everything
The published inclusion list runs: cable TV, air conditioning, common element, heat, hydro, building insurance, parking and water.
That is eight items. Most Etobicoke condominiums exclude hydro, many exclude parking, and cable is increasingly dropped. Finding all of them in one fee is unusual, and it means a monthly figure here is not comparable to a monthly figure anywhere else without adding your own utilities to the other side.
It is also one of the few buildings where I can say this with reasonable confidence: the database’s structured list and its own narrative text agree with each other. Across the thirty-odd north Etobicoke buildings I researched this week, most contradicted themselves on exactly this field. This one does not.
That said, no source publishes a fee rate per square foot for this building, and one listing showing $844 a month for a 1,000–1,199 square foot unit is a single data point rather than a rate. And an inclusion list agreeing with itself on one website is still one website. The status certificate — ten days from a written request, capped at $100 including HST under Ontario’s Condominium Act — is what settles it.

The bus stop is called “44 Longbourne Drive”
Routed 24 August 2026 on the OpenStreetMap pedestrian network with the OSRM walking profile, from the building’s own footprint:
| Destination | Distance | Walking time |
|---|---|---|
| Nearest bus stop | 2 m | under a minute |
| Etobicoke North GO | 3,830 m | 51.1 min |
| Kipling subway (nearest of 12 tested) | 6,200 m | 82.7 min |
The stop is named for the building. Two metres is not a walk; it is a step off the sidewalk. Across every building I have measured in Etobicoke — including the Humber Bay waterfront and the buildings sitting on top of Islington and Kipling stations — this is the shortest distance to transit I have recorded.
The subway is the other half of the truth: eighty-three minutes on foot, and that is the nearest of twelve stations I tested rather than an assumption. Nobody walks to a subway from here. What they do is step onto a bus at the front door.
What else is known
| Corporation | YCC 29 |
|---|---|
| Registered | 21 January 1971 |
| Storeys | 12 — corroborated by the OpenStreetMap building footprint |
| Units | 141 |
| Developer | Car Allen Investments |
| Manager | Crossbridge Condominium Services |
The storey count is better evidenced than most. The OpenStreetMap footprint for this building carries a building levels tag of 12, which matches the listing data exactly — corroboration from entirely outside the real estate industry, and I weigh that more heavily than two listing sites agreeing with each other.
One small inconsistency: one database describes the location as Martin Grove Road and The Westway, while the footprint sits on Longbourne Drive. Both are in the same pocket of Willowridge, so this is a description rather than a conflict — but it is the sort of thing that makes a building hard to find if you are searching by intersection.
What a 1971 corporation means in practice
Fifty-five years of operating history is not a liability — read properly it is more information than a new building can give you.
A corporation this old has been through several full cycles of major work: windows, roof, elevators, garage membrane, risers, balconies. The questions worth asking are simply which of those have been done, when, and how they were funded. A 1971 tower that has completed that work and rebuilt its reserve is in a stronger position than a 2015 building whose first reserve fund study has not yet bitten.
What you will not get from any public source is the answer. No twelve-month value change, no sales count, and no fee rate is published for this building — the database panel carrying those figures does not render in the delivered page. No source states co-operative status either, and while YCC 29 is a registered condominium corporation confirmed by two sources, silence on the co-op question is not the same as a verified negative on a building of this vintage.

Condo Valuation
What’s your condo
worth today?
Three quick steps. Condos don’t price like houses — your floor, your view, and whether you own parking move the number more than anything else. This weighs all of them.

Two units, same floor plan,

That happens constantly in condos — one has the parking, the right exposure, or a board that keeps the reserve fund healthy. A model can’t see your status certificate. I can.
Frequently asked questions
What does the maintenance fee include at 44 Longbourne Drive?
Cable TV, air conditioning, common element, heat, hydro, building insurance, parking and water — the most inclusive published list of any building I have researched in north Etobicoke. It is also one of the few where the database’s structured list and its own narrative text agree with each other, which makes it more trustworthy than most. Confirm on the status certificate before you rely on it.
How old is Golden Gate?
It is York Condominium Corporation No. 29, registered 21 January 1971. Ontario’s condominium legislation only came into force in 1967, so a corporation numbered 29 is among the earliest created in the province — the second-oldest I have found in Etobicoke, after YCC 27 at 60 Stevenson Road.
How close is the bus?
Two metres. The stop is named for the building itself — “44 Longbourne Drive” — and sits at the entrance. That is the shortest walk to transit of any building I have measured in Etobicoke, including the waterfront.
Can you walk to the subway from Golden Gate?
No. Kipling station measured 6,200 metres and 82.7 minutes on foot, and it is the nearest of twelve stations I tested. Etobicoke North GO is 51.1 minutes. This is a bus-first address, and on that measure it is close to perfect.
How many units and storeys?
Twelve storeys and 141 units. The storey count has independent corroboration from outside the real estate industry: the OpenStreetMap building footprint carries a building levels tag of 12, matching the listing data exactly.
Why do sources disagree about where the building is?
One database describes the location as Martin Grove Road and The Westway, while the OpenStreetMap footprint sits on Longbourne Drive. Both are in the same pocket of Willowridge–Martingrove–Richview, so it is a description-versus-address difference rather than a real conflict — but if you are searching by intersection you may miss it.
