King West Townhomes, 1-47 Sudbury St: Hydro in the Fee, Parking Not

King West Townhomes is the older of the two townhouse complexes on Sudbury Street, and the one buyers most often confuse with its neighbour. It has 180 stacked suites from 1999, many with their own rooftop terrace, and an unusual fee that covers hydro but not parking. Get that detail right and the comparison with everything else nearby becomes much clearer. I’m Jatin Dua, RE/MAX Quantum Realty.

The first of two complexes on Sudbury Street

King West Townhomes was registered as MTCC-1286 on 20 December 1999, which makes it one of the first condominium communities built when the old industrial lands north of the rail corridor began turning residential. The City’s planning for that area in the late 1990s focused on extending streets like Sudbury west to tie new housing into the grid.

Nine months later, King West Village at 12 Sudbury registered as MTCC-1338, with 207 suites and a developer listed simply as Urban. The two complexes sit side by side and look alike, but they are separate corporations with their own boards, reserve funds and fee structures. When a listing says Sudbury Street, check which corporation it belongs to.

Condos.ca lists the developer here as Urban Group. I could not confirm the full corporate name or whether it is the same company named on the neighbouring complex.

Main-floor suites and two-storey uppers with a roof

Each block is three floors, and condos.ca describes the usual split as a main-floor suite below and a two-storey upper suite above with a rooftop terrace. That gives you two very different homes at the same address.

The upper suites are the classic King West townhouse: two levels inside, stairs, and a private roof that works as a summer living room. The main-floor suites avoid the stairs and have their own front door at grade, but no roof. If you are coming from a condo tower, spend some time on the stairs at a showing before deciding the upper suite is the one for you.

Active listings when the data was gathered were a two-bedroom and a three-bedroom. Condos.ca does not publish a size range for the complex, so ask for the floor plan and measure.

If you are buying an upper suite, look at the roof as well as the inside. Ask how the terrace is finished, how it drains and who is responsible for the decking above the roof membrane. In stacked townhouse complexes, membrane repairs can mean lifting decking, and the declaration decides who pays.

Hydro is in the fee, parking is not

According to condos.ca, the fee here includes common elements, heat, hydro, air conditioning, building insurance and water. Hydro in the fee is unusual for a townhouse complex and means your main monthly utility is already counted.

Parking, on the other hand, is not listed in the fee, which is the reverse of King West Village next door, where parking is included and hydro is not. Before you compare the two, work out the full monthly cost of each: the fee, plus any parking charge here, plus hydro there. Also confirm whether the suite you want comes with a parking space at all, and whether it is owned or leased.

Fees across the two active listings ranged from $642 to $726 a month. Beanfield fibre is available in the complex, which matters if you work from home.

Bulk hydro has a downside too. Every owner shares the cost of the heaviest users, and changes in energy prices go straight into the budget and from there into your fee. Look at how the utilities line has moved over the past few years.

Living on Sudbury: quiet street, busy surroundings

Sudbury Street is a short residential street just off King West. You are a few minutes from the restaurants on King and from Liberty Village, but the street itself is residential rather than a through route.

That is changing at the corner. At 1071 King Street West, at Sudbury, Hullmark with First Capital Realty and Woodbourne Capital is building a 17-storey, 298-unit residential building designed by BDP Quadrangle, on a flatiron lot shaped by the rail corridor. It was under construction in early 2025, so expect construction activity and, later, more people and retail at the end of your street.

Metrolinx also plans a King-Bathurst station on the Ontario Line east of here, and a 16-storey rental has been proposed at King and Strachan. More density and better transit usually support values over time.

What King West Townhomes costs

Condos.ca does not publish a reliable per-square-foot average for this complex. Its neighbour, King West Village, averages about $655 per square foot, which is a sensible reference point given the similar age and format, though the different fee inclusions mean you should not treat the two as identical.

There were two suites for sale and two for rent when the data was gathered. Asking prices across the two active listings ranged from about $698,000 to $849,900, with fees from $642 to $726 a month.

Keep in mind that townhouse square footage includes stairwells and more than one level, so a stacked townhouse often lives smaller than its number suggests. Compare on bedrooms, outdoor space and parking as well as price.

Two listings is a thin sample. For what suites have actually sold for over the past year, request my building sold report, which uses aggregate figures only.

Amenities at King West Townhomes

There is no gym or party room listed. What you get is private outdoor space on the upper suites, barbecues allowed and a security guard, which is the right package for owners who want a house-like home rather than a building with shared facilities.
