Queen West
The Vibe:
We love Queen West for its laid back and effortlessly cool feel. The locals are mostly young and trendy, meaning Queen West always looks stylish and feels inspiring.
The Homes:
With varying population densities across Queen West, there’s a good variance of single-family homes, multi-residential homes, and hard lofts.
What's Good in the 'Hood:
Check out Trinity Bellwoods Park, the Ossington strip, and the West Queen West strip for abundant green spaces, fabulous people-watching, boutique mom and pop shops, and some of the city’s best restaurants.
Wallace Emerson
The Vibe:
Wallace Emerson is definitely one of Toronto’s most up-and-coming neighbourhoods. As the older population has started to size down and sell their homes, young families are beginning to move in.
The Homes:
As the dated homes are being bought up by younger families, there are many newly renovated open-concept homes popping up here. Along with freehold homes, there’s a good mix of loft conversions and new condo developments.
What's Good in the 'Hood:
Don’t miss out on some of the area’s best eats! Piri Piri Grillhouse serves out-of-this-world barbecue chicken, and the authentic Portuguese bakeries keep locals well-stocked with delicious Pasteis de Nata.
Liberty Village
The Vibe:
Liberty Village feels like a city within a city — once you’re here, you never have to leave! This active, youthful community is full of dog parks, coffee shops, restaurants, and bars. It’s a great place to meet new people, especially if you’re single.
The Homes:
Expect showy condos units and coveted multi-story lofts (including the iconic Toy Factory Lofts) here in Liberty Village, along with some condo townhomes.
What's Good in the 'Hood:
Enjoy dinner and drinks on the numerous rooftop patios, or walk over to Lamport Stadium or BMO Field to watch some live sports. In the summer, spend a day at Toronto’s famous Canadian National Exhibition.
King West
The Vibe:
Downtown living to a tee, King West hosts all the amenities you’d imagine a downtown lifestyle provides. This neighbourhood really comes to life at night, with countless restaurants, bars, and clubs on the King West strip.
The Homes:
With a small scattering of townhomes, the real estate market in this area is largely made up of condos and lofts. Look out for the luxury lofts and condo units along Wellington Street, playfully dubbed “millionaire’s row.”
What's Good in the 'Hood:
Nightlife takes centre stage on King West, as it’s overflowing with a variety of great restaurants, bars, rooftop lounges, and clubs. Sweat it all out the morning after at several trendy gyms and workout venues, then get a smoothie bowl to recover.
Fort York
The Vibe:
Full of singles and young couples, this master-planned community is one of Toronto’s most affordable and accessible downtown neighbourhoods. With access to highways, the TTC, various bike paths, and walkability to the central core, it’s definitely a busy area.
The Homes:
Due to its density, the homes in Fort York are almost exclusively condo units and condo townhomes.
What's Good in the 'Hood:
Escape from the hustle and bustle of downtown by walking, running, or biking along the sprawling Martin Goodman Trail, just steps away from your front door. Also, be sure to check out the revitalized Bentway Park shared creative space located under Toronto’s Gardiner Expressway — talk about making an eyesore an opportunity!
