The Vic Towns, 1648-1682 Victoria Park Ave: New Stacked Towns, Low Fees

The Vic Towns is what a lot of first-time buyers in North York are really looking for: a new two-level home with its own front door, outdoor space and a monthly fee that is a fraction of a high-rise. It is also brand new, which means the paperwork matters more than the finishes. I’m Jatin Dua, RE/MAX Quantum Realty.

Stacked townhomes, not a tower

The Vic Towns is a stacked townhouse format. Condos.ca lists each home as two floors, while pre-construction marketing described the blocks as four storeys, which is consistent with one two-level home sitting on top of another. Ask which level a unit sits on, because upper homes and lower homes live very differently.

Upper units typically climb more stairs but get the rooftop terrace and the most light. Lower units usually trade the roof for a ground-level garden patio and easier access. Marketing for the project highlighted balconies, garden patios and rooftop terraces, so outdoor space should be part of every unit, but the type varies.

There is no lobby, no elevator and no concierge here, which is exactly why the fees are low. You are buying a home with a shared roofline, a shared garage and a shared budget, not a building with staff.

Layouts and finishes from the sales program

During sales, the project was marketed with suites of roughly 975 to 1,729 square feet, ceilings up to about nine feet, stone counters, stainless appliances and bathrooms with double vanities. Those are marketing figures, so confirm the final floor plan and registered area for the specific home rather than relying on brochures.

Most of the homes currently listed are two-bedroom-plus-den plans. The den matters here: in a stacked town it is often the space that becomes a home office or a nursery, so check whether it has a door and a window before you count it as a room.

The site plan was built around a landscaped central courtyard. That shared green space is a quality-of-life feature, and it is also a cost the corporation will carry for as long as it exists.

What the fee covers, and what it does not

Condos.ca lists common elements, building insurance and water in the fee. The sales material described the same structure, with hydro and gas excluded, so each home most likely pays its own heating and electricity. Ask the seller for a year of utility bills, because a two-level home with its own furnace or heat pump can vary a lot by season.

Parking and lockers were sold separately during pre-construction, so not every unit has them. If you need a spot, confirm in the agreement and the status certificate that a parking unit or exclusive-use space is included in the sale.

Because the corporation was only registered in September 2025, the first-year budget was set by the developer. Fees in new townhouse corporations often move once the owners’ board takes over and real operating costs are known, so treat today’s fee as a starting point, not a promise.

Victoria Village, day to day

Victoria Village is an established, mostly low-rise pocket of North York along Victoria Park Avenue, with post-war houses, older rental towers and plazas. New ground-oriented ownership is not common here, which is part of why this project drew attention.

This is a practical, car-friendly part of the city with quick access to the Don Valley Parkway and the Eglinton corridor. If your commute runs downtown, look at the transit panel on this page for real stop distances rather than taking my word for it.

The area is changing as the Eglinton corridor intensifies, so expect more construction and more density along the main roads over the next decade. For owners in a new townhouse community, that usually helps resale demand, but it can also mean a few years of noise and detours.

The honest comparison for most buyers is not another condo, it is an older freehold townhouse or semi in the surrounding area. A freehold has no monthly fee and no board, but it usually needs work and costs more to buy. The Vic Towns gives you new construction and warranty coverage in exchange for a fee and a set of rules.

Pricing and fees at The Vic Towns

The building average is about $1,077 per square foot on condos.ca. That figure is high for this part of North York, and it does not line up neatly with the size range from the sales program, so I would rely on the measured area of the specific home rather than the average.

Seven homes are listed for sale right now, asking between $680,000 and $899,000. Monthly fees across those listings run from about $290 to $480, which is very low for new condominium product in Toronto and reflects the simple stacked-town structure.

Watch the resale field closely. With seven homes listed in a 147-unit community within months of registration, some original buyers are clearly selling on closing. That can create room to negotiate, and it also means your appraisal will lean on a small set of recent resales. See my building sold report for what has actually traded.

One more point on comparing value. In stacked towns, listed square footage usually counts both levels of the home but not the terrace, so two units with the same number can feel very different. A large rooftop terrace has real value in Toronto, and it is worth pricing that separately in your head rather than letting the per-square-foot figure decide for you.

Amenities at The Vic Towns

There is no gym, pool or party room listed here, and that is the trade. Your amenity is your own outdoor space and the shared courtyard, and your fee is not paying for staff or equipment you may never use.
