Unit 101 at 50 Lakeshore Road in St. Catharines is a 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath condo townhouse listed at $435,000. It sits in the Lakeport neighbourhood, a few minutes from the Port Dalhousie waterfront. Most of the big, costly parts of the home were replaced in 2025 and 2026.
That last point is the reason to look at this one. The furnace is new. The breaker panel is new. The wiring was updated. The attic was re-insulated. The basement was finished. You can see the photos and video on the 101 - 50 Lakeshore Road listing page.
Who this home suits
The listing names three kinds of buyers. Downsizers. Working professionals. First-time buyers. Each of them wants the same thing for a different reason.
A downsizer wants fewer chores and no surprise repair bills. A professional wants a quiet place close to the lake and a room to work from. A first-time buyer wants a home that won't drain their savings in year one.
The monthly condo fee helps all three. It covers exterior maintenance, building insurance and snow removal. So you aren't on a ladder cleaning gutters, and you aren't out shovelling at 6 a.m. in February. The listing does not state the fee amount, so ask for it before you book a tour. That number belongs in your budget right next to the mortgage.
What was actually updated, and why it matters more than paint
Here is the full list from the listing, with years:
- New furnace (2026)
- New sliding patio door (2026)
- Professionally finished basement (2026)
- New attic insulation (2025)
- Updated wiring (2025)
- New electrical breaker panel (2025)
- Baths updated (2025)
My honest view is that buyers fall for kitchens and walk past the furnace. That's backwards. A furnace, a panel and old wiring are the items that cost real money and show up at bad times. They also come up when you call for home insurance.
On this home, those items are close to brand new. That changes your first five years of ownership. Your spare cash can go to furniture, savings or the patio. It doesn't go to a contractor.
The takeaway: at $435,000, you're paying for a home where the boring, expensive work is already done.
The layout, floor by floor
The main floor is open and bright. A new sliding door opens to a private patio. That gives you a spot for morning coffee or a small grill.
Upstairs has three bedrooms and a bathroom. That's enough room for a small family, or for one bedroom plus a guest room plus a den.
The finished basement adds a whole extra level. The listing suggests a home office, a media room or a home gym. If you work from home, this is the room that keeps your job out of your kitchen.
Lakeport and Port Dalhousie: what's nearby
Lakeport is on the north side of St. Catharines, near Lake Ontario. Port Dalhousie is minutes away. It's the old harbour village of the city.
The listing points to the beaches, boutique dining and marina trails. Lakeside Park is the main beach there, and it's home to the old Lakeside Park Carousel, a local favourite for decades. Martindale Pond, just inland, hosts the Royal Canadian Henley Regatta for rowers each summer.
For daily life, that means a walk or bike ride by the water after work. It also means weekend plans that don't need a car trip to Toronto.

Questions people ask
Does 101 - 50 Lakeshore Road come with parking?
Yes. The listing includes a designated parking space, and it's covered by the monthly condo fee. That means you have your own spot. You won't be hunting for street parking.
What else do the condo fees at 50 Lakeshore Road include?
Beyond parking, exterior maintenance, building insurance and snow removal, the fees also cover water and basic cable. Water is a bill many townhouse owners pay on their own. Ask the listing agent for the exact monthly fee so you can compare it to your current utility costs.
What should I check before buying a condo townhouse in Ontario?
Ask for the status certificate. In Ontario, the condo corporation provides it, and it shows the reserve fund, the budget and any known special assessments. Have your lawyer review it as a condition of your offer.
