The Memphis Condos | 942 Yonge St For Sale

The Memphis Condos | A Yorkville Classic That Flies Under the Radar

📍 942 Yonge St, Toronto – Yorkville, Downtown

If you’ve been on the hunt for a 942 Yonge St condo for sale, you’ve probably realized that opportunities here don’t pop up every day. The Memphis is one of Yorkville’s best-kept secrets—a building that’s been quietly holding its own since the early ’90s, offering larger-than-average floor plans, unbeatable proximity to both Rosedale and Bloor-Yonge stations, and a peaceful, mature vibe that’s increasingly rare in Toronto’s condo scene.

This isn’t the flashiest building in Yorkville, but that’s part of its charm. The Memphis appeals to buyers who value substance over sparkle—people who know that thicker walls and solid construction beat floor-to-ceiling glass when it comes to long-term living. The demographic here tends to skew older, with many long-term owners who’ve called this place home for decades. Investors also see the value, thanks to its spacious layouts and prime location, just far enough north of Bloor to avoid the constant foot traffic but close enough that everything is still at your doorstep.

Now, let’s be upfront—this building has its quirks. The driveway entrance has become infamous for giving low-clearance vehicles a hard time (approach with care!), and unless you snag one of the rare terraced units along the west side, you won’t be getting outdoor space. Plus, it’s one of the few no-pets buildings in Toronto—great news if you’ve got allergies or simply want a fur-free living environment, but it’s a hard no on dogs, cats, and even goldfish. Oh, and in some suites, the laundry is tucked into the kitchen—not a dealbreaker for most, but something to be aware of.

Still, The Memphis holds a special place in Yorkville’s condo market. It’s a solid, well-maintained building with generously sized units, a calm, community-focused atmosphere, and all the perks of living in one of Toronto’s most coveted neighborhoods—without the sky-high prices of newer luxury towers.

 🚀 Why You’ll Love Living at The Memphis Condos

✔ Yorkville Location Without the Noise – Just north of Bloor, close to everything but tucked away enough for peace and quiet.

✔ Spacious Floor Plans – Larger layouts than most new builds, complete with solarium-style dens and semi-enclosed kitchens.

✔ Mature Community – Think long-term owners, minimal turnover, and a calm, owner-occupied vibe.

✔ Solid Construction – Built when they still made condos with actual walls—great soundproofing and a healthy reserve fund.

✔ Strict No-Pets Policy – One of the few buildings in Toronto with a firm no-pet rule—love it or hate it, at least it’s consistent.

 ⚖ And the Reality Check…

⚠ No Balconies (Mostly) – Unless you score one of the rare west-facing terraces, you’ll be without outdoor space.

⚠ Dated Finishes in Some Units – Expect to see a mix—some units are beautifully renovated, others still rock that ’90s aesthetic.

⚠ Tricky Driveway – Low cars, beware. This entrance has a reputation for scraping undercarriages.

⚠ Parking Can Be Tight – It’s downtown Toronto—enough said. Visitor parking is available, but plan ahead as spaces are limited.

⚠ Laundry in the Kitchen – In some suites, the laundry is tucked into the kitchen—convenient for some, less ideal for others.
