Paintbox Condos, Toronto Condo Reviews 

...It is a nightmare to live here. Violence and gunshots are quite common. This Condo has Pets and Pets like cats, dogs live. It's not one or two, there are several animals and pee and poo very common and it stinks terrible, sometimes ... Bike thefts are common and you get to see police cars all the time catching some or the other. Just opposite condo, there was firing once on some kid. You will see the most stressful people all the time showing anger in their actions. Everything looks pretty ambiance but the ground reality is different. Most of the units are occupied by medical staff and other doctors another wise no one would take these. Walking after 8 pm in and around the area is not safe due to several violence and gang issues. We decided not to ever stay in a condominium especially this one. One fire alarm activates, all have to rush out and in spite of several warnings people smoke and some times in the middle of the night. Fire trucks come to look at the alarms. It is a pain and these are real first-hand experiences after staying there for 2 years. Even on Christmas we did not have sleep due to shootings and reported gun fires in the park. The only good thing in that area was Daniels music school which is also getting closed and moving is what we heard. Very expensive and parking is a mess and you get tickets all the time as there is no way you can park the car or move around. Never recommend this place to anyone. Just search for gunshots in Regent Park and nearby areas and river street, in google and other searches, you will see how many you get. Never ever seen such a terrific area ...

This was the first time my wife & I have lived in a condo and the experience has been very positive! Everything is easy. I enjoy not having to do steps all the time.

We have a very nice gym on the 2nd floor. Right next to a wonderful Theater room to watch movies in HD. I enjoy using the BBQs on the 4th floor patio.

Our suite faces South & West and we get lots of light. We also enjoy our view of the lake and the CN Tower.

The building offers a studio suite as a hotel room which you can book for your visiting friends/relatives for $70/night (I think.)

But the best part about living in the PaintBox is that there is a sense of community. We have a Social committee which is always offering activities to participate in. There is a garden committee with a happy garden on the 5th floor. And we have a very active Networking Group. We have made many new friends here.

We are happy.
== Thanksgiving. The Paintbox Social Committee hosted a Thanksgiving Dinner for residents. We had over 40 people attend. Not only did they come to eat; they came to stay. Everyone was enjoying each others company. The evening went late.

How many condo buildings have a Thanksgiving dinner for the people who live there?
