Stone Manor Townhomes, 527 Oxford St: 20 Large Townhomes Near Park Lawn

Stone Manor Townhomes is a quiet row of 20 large townhomes on Oxford Street, tucked between Milton Street and Grand Avenue, close to where the Mr. Christie site and a new GO station are reshaping the Park Lawn area. Condos.ca lists the homes at about 2,150 square feet, which is house-sized. The building is small and the data on it is thin, so this is one where you do your homework. I’m Jatin Dua, RE/MAX Quantum Realty.

Twenty homes, one size

Stone Manor is a small complex: 20 townhomes on a residential stretch of Oxford Street, registered as MTCC-1420 in January 2002. Condos.ca names the builder as Stone Manor Developments (Manitoba) and the manager as Canlight Management.

The only size condos.ca reports is about 2,150 square feet. That suggests the homes were built to one plan or a few very similar ones, which is helpful when you price a unit: the comparables within the complex are close to like for like. It also means these are big homes, more than most semis in the area.

I could not find a published source for the architect, the number of floors per unit, ceiling heights or the garage arrangement. Ask for the floor plan and the parking schedule, and check how many cars the unit can actually hold.

Small complexes like this one rarely show up in the market reports that cover the big towers, and that cuts both ways. Fewer buyers know the building, so a well-kept unit can be a quiet find. It also means fewer recent sales to guide a price, which is why I lean on comparisons with similar homes nearby.

What 2,150 square feet means here

A townhome of this size is usually spread over three or more levels, often with a garage at grade. I cannot confirm the exact layout from public sources, but the size alone puts Stone Manor in a different category from the one- and two-bedroom suites that make up most of the condo stock near Park Lawn and The Queensway.

That makes it a real option for a family that wants three bedrooms or a home office without leaving the area. The trade-off is the stairs. If anyone in the household has mobility concerns, see the unit in person and count the flights before you go further.

Large townhomes also carry their own systems. In most townhouse condos, the furnace, air conditioner, water heater and windows inside a unit are the owner’s to maintain, even when the roof is shared. The declaration sets out exactly who pays for what.

A small corporation’s fee

Condos.ca lists the fee as covering common elements, building insurance and parking. Utilities are not listed, so expect to pay heat, hydro and water yourself. That keeps the shared budget small, which suits a 20-unit corporation.

The flip side of a small corporation is concentration. Roofs, driveways, retaining walls and waterproofing are big projects, and with 20 owners each one is a large share. This complex is now more than 20 years old, which is when those projects start to arrive. The reserve fund study is the document I would read first.

Condos.ca lists only BBQ permission and visitor parking as features, and I could not confirm the pet rules. Read the declaration and rules in the status certificate before you count on either.

Living near Park Lawn as it changes

Oxford Street is a residential side street in the Mimico-Queensway area, inland from the lake and close to The Queensway’s shops. Most of the change around it is happening to the east, near Park Lawn Road and Lake Shore.

The biggest project is the redevelopment of the former Mr. Christie cookie factory site at 2150 Lake Shore Boulevard West. First Capital and Pemberton Group are planning a master-planned community there of about 36 new buildings, built alongside a planned Park Lawn GO station on the Lakeshore West line. A planning application for the station was filed in 2022.

For an owner at Stone Manor, that is mostly good news: better regional transit and more shops and services over time, at the cost of years of construction nearby. Check the latest timing before you factor the station into your plans. The data panel shows current transit and schools.

Pricing a rare kind of home

Condos.ca does not publish an average price per square foot for Stone Manor, and with only 20 homes, sales are infrequent. There were no units listed for sale or rent when I checked, so I cannot give you an asking range either.

In practice, I price a Stone Manor unit against two groups: other condo townhomes in Mimico and New Toronto, such as Parkside Townhomes at about $603 per square foot and the Royalton at about $633, and freehold semis and towns nearby. The condo fee is the difference between those groups, so I always set the fee against what a freehold owner would put aside for a roof and driveway.

For the recorded sales in the complex, see the data panel on this page or ask me for a building sold report.

Before you make an offer, add up the full monthly cost: the fee, property tax and your own utilities. Then compare it with the mortgage and carrying costs of a similar-sized freehold. That total, not the list price, is the honest comparison.

Amenities at Stone Manor Townhomes

There are no shared amenities beyond visitor parking, so the fee goes to the grounds, insurance and reserve rather than staff or equipment. The amenities that matter here are the size of the home and the shops on The Queensway.
