What the Uptown Core looks like
The Uptown Core sits at Trafalgar Road and Dundas Street, around Oak Park and the Uptown shopping area. It was planned as a denser centre, and it shows: mid-rise and high-rise condominiums, stacked townhouses, freehold towns and retail at grade, mostly built from the late 1990s onward.

Plumbing in condos and stacked towns
In a condo suite, the plumbing you control usually ends where it meets the building's risers. Common requests include:
- Running toilets and leaking supply hoses.
- Dishwasher and washing machine hose failures.
- Shower cartridges and bathroom faucets.
- Slow kitchen and bathroom drains.
A leak in a suite can affect the units below, so speed matters. Know where your suite shut-offs are; they are often in a cupboard, behind an access panel or under the sink. Our condo and townhouse guide covers the details.
Most condo buildings require you to book the service elevator and notify the management office before trades arrive. Please arrange that before our visit.
Water heaters and in-suite equipment
Some suites and stacked towns have their own small tank or a combination heating unit. Others share central hot water. If you have your own heater, it needs the same care as a house unit, including periodic checks of the relief valve.
Freehold towns
Freehold townhouses in the area work like detached homes, with their own service lines and drains. Sump pumps and backwater valves apply here too.
Getting us in
Visitor parking and building access are the main planning points. Let us know your buzzer code and parking instructions. Nearby: River Oaks and Iroquois Ridge North.
