I may be able to afford an old small house in Tuxedo when I move back in 8 or so months.
Is the north central LRT still 25+ years away?

As another Tuxedo (Balmoral) resident of ten years, I absolutely agree that it's a great place to live and that it will continue to change for the better. Something to be said for walking to Folkfest in under fifteen minutes, or hopping on the extremely frequent #3 and being downtown in five minutes. As Rusty mentioned, there's Lina's, then a handful of good Vietnamese places, a couple Asian supermarkets, Centre Street Pita not too far away, and one of the best little liquor stores in the city.
I don't really know that there are a lot of bargains left here, though. 11m-wide lots with 800 sq. ft. bungalows tend to go for $500,000 and up, while similar sized houses on full-sized (15m) lots go for much more. There may be some deals in extreme northeast Tuxedo, but then you are up around 32nd Ave, on the east side of Centre and sloping down to an industrial area -- to me, this is a completely different neighbourhood.
Infill semis go for between $750,000-$1,000,000.
