Oscar Residences — Rental Market Data

Oscar Residences holds two active listings as of August 31, 2026, spanning a price range of $2,100 to $3,250 per month with an average asking rent of $2,675 and a median of $2,675. The average suite size across both listings is 577 square feet at an asking rate of $4.78 per square foot. Both the one-bedroom and two-bedroom tiers carry a single listing each, so the active inventory is evenly split between compact entry-level and multi-bedroom executive layouts rather than concentrating in either segment.

The dominant active layout at Oscar Residences is the one-bedroom tier with one listing representing 50 percent of current availability, though the two-bedroom tier mirrors it with an identical single-listing share. The one-bedroom averages 400 square feet at $2,100 per month and $5.25 per square foot, while the two-bedroom offers 754 square feet at $3,250 per month and $4.31 per square foot. Both tiers are single-transaction samples, so pricing reflects individual suite positioning rather than a tier-level market rate.

Oscar Residences shows an active asking spread of $1,150 per month, or 54.8 percent, between the minimum entry rent of $2,100 and the peak asking rent of $3,250. The median asking rent sits at $2,675 per month, splitting the range roughly in half. The entry-level suite is a 400-square-foot one-bedroom priced at $5.25 per square foot, while the peak offering is a 754-square-foot two-bedroom at $4.31 per square foot, meaning the higher absolute rent is driven by nearly double the living area rather than a steeper per-square-foot rate.

Oscar Residences does not currently have quantified den premiums, as no active den-suite listings exist in the two-unit sample to isolate marginal cost per square foot for additional den space. Active parking premiums also cannot be reliably isolated from current listings due to an insufficient paired sample, so no parking add-on figure can be quoted with confidence. Historical lease data does confirm a verified parking stall cost of $300 per month, which serves as the building's established benchmark for renters negotiating a spot.

Oscar Residences asks an average of $2,675 per month at $4.78 per square foot, compared to the Dovercourt submarket asking benchmark of $2,609 per month at $3.89 per square foot. The building's nominal rent is only $66 above the submarket average, yet its per-square-foot rate runs 22.9 percent higher, a gap explained by the fact that active suites here average 577 square feet versus the submarket's larger typical footprint, so renters pay more per unit of space for a newer, more compact product. Oscar Residences accounts for two of the 17 active listings in the Dovercourt submarket, representing roughly 12 percent of current rental availability in the area.

Oscar Residences leases at an average of $2,375 per month, which is $593 below the four-comparable average of $2,968 and well under the two active-lease benchmarks in the immediate radius. Bianca at 280 Howland Ave (0.3 km) closed leases averaging $3,108 per month at $4.19 per square foot across 745 square feet, while ANX Condos at 322 Dupont Street (0.59 km) recorded an average of $2,827 per month at $4.51 per square foot on 637 square feet. Schoolhouse at 391 Brunswick Ave and The Loretto at 385 Brunswick Ave posted no closed lease transactions in the trailing 180-day window, so no rent benchmark is available for those two properties.

Oscar Residences commands $4.60 per square foot on 531 average square feet, a 9.8 percent premium over Bianca's $4.19 per square foot and a 2.0 percent premium over ANX Condos' $4.51 per square foot, while delivering 214 and 106 fewer interior square feet than those two competitors respectively. Renters choosing Oscar Residences over Bianca trade 214 square feet of additional space for a newer building, a pet wash station, a pet social lounge, and a media theatre room—amenities Bianca does not offer. Against ANX Condos, the subject gives up 106 square feet but adds a dining room and kitchen, a meeting room, and a garden courtyard that ANX's leaner amenity list lacks. The value proposition is clear: a compact, amenity-dense suite in a 2024 building for renters who prioritise lifestyle features over raw square footage.

Oscar Residences fields the most complete lifestyle amenity stack in the Dovercourt micro-market, pairing a pet wash station and pet social lounge with a media theatre room, a dedicated meeting room, and a full dining room and kitchen—features that collectively set it apart from every nearby competitor. Bianca at 280 Howland Ave offers an outdoor pool, yoga studio, and outdoor fireplace but provides no pet-specific facilities, no media theatre, and no meeting room. ANX Condos at 322 Dupont Street limits its offering to a gym, outdoor pool, rooftop terrace, and EV charging, with no dining room, no meeting space, and no garden courtyard. Schoolhouse and The Loretto on Brunswick Avenue carry only basic concierge, BBQ, and courtyard amenities, lacking any fitness, media, or pet programming. The building's package is purpose-built for pet-owning young professionals and small households who want a full-service urban lifestyle—dedicated pet care, social dining, and work-ready meeting space—without sacrificing the convenience of a walkable Dovercourt address.
