Buildings with no booked viewing that you can walk into, compared against the units that actually pass your gates (≤ $2,400 · studios ≥ ~500 sqft, 1BRs no floor · no ground/low floor · move in by Oct 11). Generated Sep 28, 2026 · reads the same data as the directory.
| Unit in your filters | Size | Avail. | Rent | $ / sqft | Laundry |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom | 510 sqft | Now | $1,845 | $3.62 | in-building |
🚩 Size flag: 510 sqft — a true 1BR (no size floor applies), but it is below your ~600 sqft comfort bar. Treat it as a confirmation trip, not a front-runner. The pulls are the pool/gym and a possible promo: if the 1 month rent free seen Sep 22 still holds, this is ~$1,691/mo effective · ~$2.87/sqft — one of the better 1BR values on the board.
⚠️ Carried forward from the tracker: 2024–25 bedbug/roach/mice reports (tenant group vs landlord) —
inspect properly, not like a showroom. book.77huntley.ca is disabled; the street office is the route.
Bring: photo ID + proof of income (landlord's stated requirement). Ask: ① is the free month still on? ② which floors had pest reports, what treatment? ③ is 510 sqft real, and is there a larger 1BR layout? ④ name + direct email of the leasing contact.

|---|---|---|---|
| 85 Wellesley (The Lincoln)🚶 | 1BR 551 sqft · $1,950 · $3.54/sqft | 11:33 → 11:55 | Manager on site 9am–5pm and shows the unit himself; ring the buzzer. 61 m from 77 Wellesley — zero detour.

| Unit | Size | Avail. | Rent | $ / sqft |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom #204 | 762 sqft | Oct 1 | $2,100 | $2.76 |
| 1 Bedroom #604 (swap ask — not listed) | 762 sqft | Oct 1 | $1,899 | $2.49 |
⭐ #604 at $1,899 is the best size-per-dollar unit on your entire board ($2.49/sqft, floor 6, same 762 sqft as #204). It is a swap ask, not a listed unit — name it explicitly.
❌ You have not seen this building. The Mon Sep 28 10:45 viewing was booked, but the agent no-showed — so #204 is still unviewed. Re-book it, or buzz the resident manager if you are passing. 🪳 Pest history is the open question: multiple tenants report roaches in the chute room, laundry room, stairwells and hallways — a unit-only tour cannot clear it.
📞 RM Petrit & Shpresa (647) 291-6803 ✉️ 48isabella@hollyburn.com📍 It is 0.28 km / ~4 min from your 14:00 Signet slot at 89 Isabella — if Hollyburn answers, it slots in straight after at ~14:49. Without a reply, do not burn the walk on a buzzer.
| Building | Qualifying units | Channel — why not a walk-in |
|---|---|---|
| 88 Wellesley | 1BR ~600 sqft · $1,999 · $3.33 Studio 600–699 sqft · $2,100 · $3.50 |
Privately-owned condo units on MLS — there is no office to walk into. One text to your agent books both.
⚠️ No AC, shared laundry. 📞 agent 416-706-6400 |
| 68 Shuter | 1 Bed + Study #703 · 545 sqft · $2,250 · $4.13 | MLS condo unit via agent. You liked it, but at $4.13/sqft it is last on value and Oct 11 possession leaves zero margin. |
| 30 Gloucester (Gloucester Gate) | Typical 1BR 540 sqft ~$1,900 · studio 499 sqft ~$1,600 | Condo with no leasing office at all — 0 available as of Sep 18, suites list one at a time through individual agents. An alert, not a call, and not a stop. |
Your free window is 11:55 → 14:00. Huntley sits north of Wellesley, so it chains off the 85 Wellesley walk-in and comes back down to the 14:00 Signet appointment. Order of preference: this one, because it is mid-window and someone is certainly in after lunch — not the 09:00 slot, which would put a walk-in (unknowable wait) directly in front of a booked MetCap appointment.
| Time | Stop | Status / what to expect |
|---|---|---|
| 10:00 → 10:45 | 100 Gloucester + 105 Isabella | ✅ booked — one MetCap appointment, 433 units, 1BR 667 sqft $2,099 · studio 447 sqft $1,699 |
| 11:00 → 11:30 | 77 Wellesley | ✅ booked — 1BR 780 sqft $1,899 · ⭐ $2.43/sqft, best value on the board |
| 11:33 → 11:55 | 85 Wellesley | 🚶 walk-in — 1BR 551 sqft $1,950 · 20 min is enough |
| 11:55 → 12:06 | ↳ walk 0.85 km · ~11 min north | Wellesley St E → Huntley St |
| 12:06 → 12:51 | 77 Huntley 🆕 | 🚶 walk-in, 45 min — the gap stop. Bring photo ID + proof of income. Slack after it, nothing booked until 14:00 |
| 12:51 → 12:58 | ↳ walk 0.49 km · ~7 min | back to Isabella St |
| 12:58 → 14:00 | lunch / slack | 62 min of buffer — you can absorb a 30-min wait at Huntley and still arrive early |
| 14:00 → 14:45 | 89 Isabella (Signet) | ✅ booked — 1BR #503 515 sqft $1,999 · rent controlled (built 1960) · ask what the redevelopment listing means for your term |
| 14:49 → 15:10 | 48 Isabella only if Hollyburn answers | ⚠️ buzzer/RM — 0.28 km from 89 Isabella. Not a walk-in; skip it if nobody picks up |
| 15:10 → 15:25 | ↳ walk 1.09 km · ~15 min | Isabella St → Carlton St |
| 15:25 → 15:45 | 140 Carlton | 🚶 walk-in — open to 20:00, so an overrun costs nothing. Last stop |
Cost of the insert: the Huntley detour adds +0.94 km / ~13 min of walking versus going straight from 85 Wellesley to 89 Isabella (0.40 km). Adding 48 Isabella as well costs +0.46 km / ~6 min more. Distances are straight-line × 1.25 street factor — rough, not routed. Google-Maps the day-of.
