251 Jarvis
A great location next to TMU, with an excellent 18th-floor amenity level and infinity pool; but only 5 elevators for over 1,000 units, recurring heating and utility-bill problems, and the surrounding area needs some caution.
Good points
- Right next to TMU
- Three minutes' walk to a Metro supermarket
- 18th-floor amenities and a rooftop infinity pool
- Well-liked 2nd-floor study room
Problems
- Only 5 elevators for 1,012 units; 15–20 minute waits at peak
- Central heating failed several times in winter and repairs dragged
- High, opaque utility billing; even studios can reach $400 a month
- Close to Moss Park; outsiders have followed residents into the building
- Many short-term rentals; late-night party noise
