St Gabriel Manor is an 8-storey mid-rise residential building completed in 2011 in Bayview Village. The building contains 96 units and was developed by Shane Baghai. It represents a moderate-density housing option in a neighbourhood that blends residential character with urban convenience. The building's size allows it to maintain a sense of community while offering the conveniences of a managed residential complex. As a 2011 construction, the building incorporates early 2010s construction standards and design. This type of mid-rise development is typical for the area, fitting between single-family homes and taller condominium towers.

Bayview Village is located in North York near the border with central Toronto, making it a bridge neighbourhood between quieter residential areas and the city's core. The area sits along Bayview Avenue, one of Toronto's major north-south routes, providing direct access to the Gardiner Expressway and Don Valley Parkway for drivers. Public transit includes nearby bus routes and reasonable distance to subway stations, though it's not a walk-to-transit location. The neighbourhood itself is mixed, with older single-family homes alongside mid-rise buildings like St Gabriel Manor, local shops, and services. It suits people who want urban convenience without the intensity of downtown living, and who drive or use transit for longer commutes.

St Gabriel Manor units tend to be compact, averaging around 500 square feet, with an average of 1.5 bedrooms in active listings. This sizing makes them suitable for individuals, couples, or small families, and the building type means shared amenities and maintenance fees are part of ownership. When evaluating a unit, check the current maintenance fee structure and what amenities are included, as these directly affect affordability. For renters, the current market shows units available at around $1,595 per month, though rates vary by unit size and condition. Both buyers and renters should confirm the building's pet policy, parking availability, and whether utilities are included in rent or fees. Visit the unit at different times of day to get a feel for the neighbourhood's noise and activity levels.
