Newtowns at King Towns | 10 to 28 Laidlaw St For Sale
Newtowns at King Towns | The Stacked Townhouse Life in Liberty Village
📍 10-28 Laidlaw St, 50-80 Joe Shuster Way & 20 Machells Ave, Toronto – Liberty Village/South Parkdale
Not every condo buyer is looking for a high-rise with a concierge and a rooftop party room. Some just want a home that actually feels like a home. If you're craving townhouse living but still want to be near Liberty Village, Newtowns at King Towns is worth a serious look.
Built in 2006-2007, this stacked townhouse complex offers a variety of 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 2-bedroom + den units, many of which come with private rooftop terraces, front entrances, and a more house-like feel compared to traditional condos.
There’s a reason these townhomes remain popular. You’re steps from Liberty Village, the King West streetcar, Queen West’s vibrant energy, and local parks—all while living on a quieter residential street.
That said, it’s not without its quirks. Get ready to embrace stairs—you’ll be getting your steps in, whether it’s up to your rooftop terrace, second-floor bedrooms, or even just from the front door to the living area. For families with strollers or those who hate leg day, this might be a dealbreaker. And if you’re on the lower level, be prepared for some foot traffic noise from your upstairs neighbours.
Inside, the original finishes are a bit dated, with berber carpet, laminate floors, and countertops that reflect the mid-2000s build. Many owners have renovated, but if not—this is your chance to add value and make it your own.
You won’t find a concierge, gym, or pool here, which means low maintenance fees. But keep in mind that some units have rental HVAC and hot water tanks—meaning you’ll not only pay a monthly rental fee, but you’re also responsible for replacing them if they break. Something to check before you buy!
