My now-husband, Philipp, had bought a two-bed, two-bath pre-construction condo at Avenue and Davenport a few years earlier. It was completed in September of 2021, and the day we moved in, I found out I was pregnant. By last fall, we were desperate to upsize. There was a three-bedroom unit for rent in our building, but it was roughly $10,000 a month, which was almost triple our budget. I thought we could find an older, larger apartment elsewhere, but there was nothing in our price range. We were also stressed because my return-to-work date was approaching and we couldn’t find a daycare spot. I had reached out to 68 places and was wait-listed at several of them.
When I saw a family pass by with their kid in a push car, I began imagining what our lives would look like here. There was a bus stop in front of the house and shops, bakeries and grocery stores nearby. It didn’t feel like part of a cookie-cutter suburban development, plus our parents lived around the corner. Free babysitting! We knew we had to have it.
