Eastdale townhouses for sale

Yes. The bigger complexes, all seventies and eighties construction, are condominium corporations, and freehold rows are the exception, mostly newer infill along King Street East and Harmony Road North. Each listing spells out the tenure and the monthly fee, and a condominium purchase should be conditional on reviewing the certificate and the reserve study.

At forty to fifty years, roofs, windows, exterior doors, garage doors, asphalt paving and underground services all reach the end of their first or second life, often inside the same short window. A healthy reserve fund with a recent study spreads that cost; a thin one means a special assessment or a fee jump. The certificate tells you which situation applies.

Freehold units can be rented subject to Oshawa's by-laws and the Residential Tenancies Act, and most condominium corporations here allow long-term leases while restricting short-term rentals. Read the declaration and the rules for any minimum lease term and pet or parking limits before buying as an investment.
