The Gardens at Queen | 60 to 98 Carr Street
The Gardens at Queen | Stacked Townhomes With a Downtown Edge
📍 60-98 Carr St, Toronto – Alexandra Park
Not everyone wants a glass-box high-rise with an elevator waitlist. If you’re looking for a townhome-style condo with space, privacy, and a rooftop terrace, The Gardens at Queen hits different. Tucked between Queen West and Kensington Market, this stacked townhome community gives you multi-level living with private entrances—so no weird hallway run-ins with your neighbors in pajamas.
Built in 2006, these units are surprisingly spacious, ranging from one-bedrooms with rooftop patios to multi-level townhomes over 2,000 sq. ft. It’s a rare find for people who want a house-like feel without a house-like mortgage (or maintenance).
Let’s be real—Alexandra Park isn’t for everyone. It’s one of those neighborhoods that divides buyers. Some people love the gritty, artsy energy and walkability, while others might prefer something more polished. Best advice? Walk the area at night and see how it feels to you.
But if you’re looking for space, character, and a walkable downtown lifestyle—without the glass tower drawbacks—The Gardens at Queen deserves a look.
