About The Sands Condos
The 16-storey building has 158 suites from 800 to 1,399 sq ft. Amenities include a fitness centre, a sauna, a party room, and a games room. Pets are allowed with restrictions.
What is The Sands like?
The Sands has about 158 suites, from one bedroom up to two bedrooms with a den or sunroom. Many suites are roomy, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a balcony. Because the tower stands above the trees, many suites look out over the ravine and countryside. Some upper floors can even see the Toronto skyline on a clear day. Most suites have laundry inside, plus underground parking and a locker.
What amenities does it have?
This is the most complete amenity list of any condo in Georgetown. Listings describe an indoor pool, a hot tub, a sauna, an exercise room and a games room. There is also a party room, a library, a barbecue area, a sun deck and a tennis court that is also used for pickleball.
Where is it?
McFarlane Drive is in south Georgetown. The building is surrounded by green space and walking trails, including the Hungry Hollow trail system. Shops, groceries and restaurants are a short walk or drive away, and the library and hospital are close. A GO bus stop is nearby, and Georgetown GO Station is a short drive.
Before you buy
A building with a pool and a tennis court costs more to run, so expect the condo fee to reflect that. Some listings say the fee also covers a TV and internet package and water. Ask for the status certificate to see what is covered and how strong the reserve fund is. Our guide on how to judge condo fees explains what to look for.
Comparing your options
For a newer building near downtown, look at 42 Mill Street. For ravine views on a quieter street, compare Georgetown Terraces and The Royal Ascot. See every building in the Halton Hills condo directory, or check prices in the Georgetown market report.
