I can’t believe I found my dream St Catherine's, Lakeside park, home(s)

It would be so amazing to own a vacation home right on beach of Lakeside Park!

I could see the lighthouse and pier from my bedroom. I’m a huge sunset fan. To see a sunset over the water every night, and live the song that I dreamed about sine I was 10 year old kid would be so cool.

A comparable condo in the San Diego area would be so much more expensive. I’ll probably never do it. More likely to get one in Japan. But it is cool to dream about it.

I know that Lakeside Park is not that great Intrinsically. But I can’t tell you how moved I was to finally go there.

To actually drink by the lighthouse and smoke on the pier was absolute bucket list material. That and the picture of me and my friends posing in front of the Government Building like the Moving Pictures cover and doing an AI treatment.

Yes, I’m aware that I'm totally psycho.

Nice in the summer but getting hammered with ice build-up in the winter = nightmare.

Thus, vacation home.

I've lived in San Diego my whole life. I think I know a bit more about harsh winters than you guys.

Not unless your winters in San Diego are when your buried hip deep, at a minimum, in snow.

What exactly is this “snow” you speak of? 😜

that place is sick!
I have a property nearby that I use in the summer and weekends, the view is good. a vineyard at the end of my street, but that listing is amazing
Port Dalhousie is right there and it's a great little area. you have amazing cycling all around you, from the Welland canal to Niagara on the Lake, vineyards are a stones throw. there is a marina next door to that and also loads of good grocery options and St Catharines is now becoming a bit of a foodie spot. a few Michelin restaurants, great breweries. Go for it!

Hey, thanks for chiming in. The surrounding area shops, bars and restaurants seemed to be really cool, although it didn’t partake.

The price is of those two properties are really good. I’d imagine other properties not directly on the lake would be priced even better.

IS this thread an advertisement?
 
$1.6 million for a vacation condo in St. Catharines. Props to you for doing well financially but I'd be kicking myself too much to enjoy the view, knowing how much traveling and fucking I could do for that money.

It’s “only” $1.1 M in USD, Haha.

I’m not really that wealthy. I’d have to sell one of my two homes in San Diego, which probably would be a dumb financial decision. It’s just so cool to think that I could own a home right on the shore of Lakeside Park. It would be a great excuse to keep coming back to Toronto though.

This place looks cute for a short stay.


Does anyone know what it’s like on May 24? I know there’s no midway any longer but is it still pretty festive?

I think you're taking being a Rush fan a little too far.

Seriously?

Bro, I’m offended by your comment

I‘m taking it a ‘little” too far?

I take this shit way, way too far!
