Smart House Condos | 215 Queen St W
Smart House | The Micro-Unit Pioneer in Downtown Toronto
📍 215 Queen St W, Toronto – Queen West
Tiny but mighty, Smart House is the definition of micro-living in downtown Toronto. This 26-storey high-rise is one of the few mid-rise condos west of University, making it easy to spot—but what really makes it stand out is its ultra-compact unit sizes, starting at a jaw-dropping 289 sq. ft.
Designed with investors and urban minimalists in mind, this is not the building for you if you need space to stretch out. Two-bedrooms here are smaller than some studios in other buildings, and while the layouts are functional, they demand some serious creativity to make them livable.
On the bright side, the location is unbeatable—you’re literally next door to Osgoode Station, a short walk from both U of T and Toronto Metropolitan University, and in the middle of the city’s best shopping, dining, and nightlife. That’s why rental demand here is always high, even if the elevators are slow and the combo washer-dryers take forever.
So, is Smart House a smart buy? If you're looking for an affordable downtown investment property or a compact crash pad in the city, this might be the place for you. If you need closet space, a full-sized oven, and a proper laundry setup, keep looking.

And The Reality Check…
⚠ Micro-Units = Tiny Living – Most suites are small—even the two-bedrooms. If you need space, this isn’t the building for you.
⚠ Elevator Bottlenecks – Two elevators for 26 floors = long wait times at peak hours.
⚠ Soundproofing Isn’t Great – You might get to know your neighbor’s taste in music whether you want to or not.
⚠ 2-in-1 Washer-Dryers – They take twice as long as normal laundry setups. You can upgrade, but it’s an extra cost.
