Candy Court Way Townhouses: 18 Homes in a 1969 Condo off Bathurst

Candy Court Way is about as small as a condominium gets: 18 townhouses on a private court off Bathurst Street, registered in 1969 as York Condominium Corporation No. 7. Buyers come here for a family-sized townhouse at a price below the freehold streets around it. The trade-off is that 18 owners carry every repair between them. I’m Jatin Dua, RE/MAX Quantum Realty.

An early condominium on a private court

Ontario’s first condominium legislation dates from 1967, and YCC-7 was registered in October 1969. That makes this one of the earliest condominium corporations in the province, from a time when townhouse condos were a new way to own a family home in North York.

The street name appears two ways. Condos.ca and the corporation use Candy Courtway, while listing sites often write Candy Court Way. Both point to the same 18 homes, numbered 1 to 35.

With 18 homes on a court of its own, this feels more like a small street than a complex. There is no through traffic, neighbours know each other, and the corporation’s decisions are made by a handful of owners. That is pleasant to live with, and it means you should know who those owners are and how the board works before you buy.

The court sits just off Bathurst Street between Finch and Steeles, so the house streets of Newtonbrook West are on one side and the Bathurst corridor on the other. That corridor is starting to densify. In June 2026 UrbanToronto reported a proposal for two purpose-built rental towers of 39 and 43 storeys, with 1,021 new units, at 6200 Bathurst Street near Fisherville Road, just south of Steeles. A proposal is not an approval, but expect more traffic and construction along Bathurst over the coming years. Transit, school and walking details are in the panel on this page.

Layouts: two storeys, garage and basement

Condos.ca does not publish suite sizes, but a recent listing in the complex described a two-storey home with three bedrooms, a finished basement, an attached single-car garage and a second parking space, plus a patio off the living room. Condos.ca also lists a parking garage and visitor parking.

That listing recorded baseboard heating and wall-unit air conditioning. Electric baseboard heat is common in townhouses of this era. It is simple and quiet, but it can be expensive in a cold winter, and wall units cool rooms one at a time. Ask the seller for a year of hydro bills, and price in a heat pump or ductless system if you want to upgrade.

Because the homes are 55 years old, expect a range of renovation levels. Look at the basement in particular: check for signs of past water, ask what the finished walls are hiding, and have an inspector look at the wiring, since some Ontario homes from the late 1960s and 1970s were wired with aluminum branch circuits.

Fee inclusions you need to confirm

Condos.ca does not list what the fee covers. One recent listing reported that the fee included heat, hydro, water, cable and parking. That is unusually generous for a townhouse complex, and it would explain why fees here look high at first glance.

I would not rely on a listing for that. If hydro is truly included and the homes heat with electric baseboards, the corporation is carrying every owner’s heating bill, and that line in the budget can move sharply with hydro rates. Ask for the current budget and status certificate, confirm exactly which utilities are included, and look at how those costs have changed over the last three years.

The structure matters for resale too. A buyer comparing this complex with a freehold townhouse needs to know whether the fee replaces their utility bills or adds to them. If it replaces them, the monthly cost of owning here can compare well.

Why the reserve fund matters so much in an 18-home corporation

In a small corporation, every capital project is split 18 ways. Roofs, windows, the private road, drainage, fences and garage doors cost much the same per home whether there are 18 owners or 180, and there is no large pool of owners to soften a big year.

Read the reserve fund study with that in mind. Look at the balance against the next ten years of planned work, check when the roofs and windows were last done, and read two years of board minutes. If a special assessment has been levied or is being discussed, the status certificate must say so.

Also find out how many homes are rented. In an 18-home complex, two or three rented units change the owner mix noticeably, and that can affect how the board is run and who is willing to serve on it.

Pricing in a complex with 18 homes

There was one home for sale here and none for rent on condos.ca at the time of writing. I will not quote a single listing’s price or fee, and condos.ca did not publish a building price per square foot.

With so few homes, sales here are infrequent, and one sale can move any average a long way. The recorded sales and leases on this page are the starting point. Beyond that, compare with other 1960s and 1970s townhouse condominiums near Bathurst between Finch and Steeles, adjusting for garage, basement finish and, above all, what the fee includes.

If you own here and are thinking of selling, or you are watching for the next listing, ask me for the building sold report and I will pull the comparables that actually apply.

Amenities at 35 Candy Court Way Townhouses

There are no shared amenities beyond parking, and that is part of the appeal. The fee is not paying for a gym or party room, so what it covers is exterior upkeep, the grounds and, possibly, utilities.
