I know that area like the back of my hand. I attended Queenston Public for a number of years, and spent highschool in Woodlands, which is one ugly hunk as well.
I've come to really appreciate how well put together Erindale Woodlands as a neighbourhood is, despite its cumbersome road network.
The mix of housing, especially for a post-war subdivision, is really notable and combined with the land use planning, really puts it up there as one of the better post war neighbourhoods in the GTA IMO.
I know that ugly mansard complex well, and can't believe it was converted to a condo, just because I imagine maintenance must be a pain.
I've always found that difference in wealth from one side of Dundas to another to be fascinating in a way, as I have friends from either side of that street.
That being said, the continued McMansion-ization of the wealthier area has been a real sight for sore eyes.

I recall joking to my friend that you may as well break a window above that entrance way of one of those houses and installing your own balcony above the entrance as a selling point.
