If you’re considering buying a condo in Peterborough’s East City, there’s a good chance you’ve come across East City Condos at 195 Hunter Street East. It’s one of the city’s newer condominium developments and has become a popular choice for downsizers, professionals, retirees, and even some investors looking for modern, low-maintenance living.
I’ve had the opportunity to show several units in this building and tour the building extensively, and one thing that stands out is that it doesn’t feel like many of Peterborough’s older condo buildings. The finishes are modern, the common areas are bright and well-kept, and the amenities are a step above what you’ll find in many local condominium communities.
If you’re wondering whether this building is the right fit for you, here’s what you should know.
Where is the East City Condos Building?
East City Condos is located at 195 Hunter Street East, right in the heart of Peterborough’s East City.
For many buyers, the location is one of the biggest selling points. Within a few minutes’ walk, you can grab a coffee, head out for dinner at the Ashburnham Ale House, The Railyard, Matsu Sushi. You can also enjoy a walk along the Otonabee River, or cross the Hunter Street Bridge into downtown Peterborough. Beavermead Park, Del Crary Park, Nicholls Oval, and the Rotary Greenway Trail are all nearby, making it easy to stay active without getting in your car.
East City has developed into one of Peterborough’s most desirable neighbourhoods because it offers a unique mix of historic charm and modern conveniences.

What About Condo Fees?
Monthly condo fees vary depending on the size of the unit. They generally contribute toward exterior maintenance, landscaping, snow removal, building insurance, reserve fund contributions, common area cleaning, property management, and building amenities. I always encourage buyers to focus on the overall health of the condominium corporation rather than simply choosing the building with the lowest fees.
Are There Any Restrictions?
Like every condominium, East City Condos has rules regarding pets, balconies, renovations, parking, storage, leasing, and noise. Buyers should always review the Status Certificate and condominium documents before purchasing.

What I Like About East City Condos
The location in East City is outstanding; the building offers modern construction and finishes, the amenities are among the best in Peterborough, and the low-maintenance lifestyle appeals to many buyers. It is one of the true ‘luxury’ condo buildings in the city of Peterborough. The 8th-floor party room (which can be rented for private functions) is also a great amenity and has breathtaking views of the entire city.
Things To Consider
Monthly condo fees are an ongoing ownership cost. Storage will be more limited than a detached home, and owners are expected to follow condominium rules designed to protect the building and its residents. However, condos such as the East City Condos are designed for people who want a maintenance-free life. No grass cutting, no shoveling snow, no roofs to replace. There is even a gym an elevator ride away.
Are East City Condos The Right Fit For You?
If you’re searching for a condo in Peterborough, East City Condos deserves a place on your shortlist. If you’re thinking about buying or selling at 195 Hunter Street East, I’d be happy to answer your questions, arrange a private showing, or provide recent sales in the building so you can make an informed decision
