Downtown Toronto Neighbourhoods
Toronto is a city of neighbourhoods, so we thought that we would break them down for you. Here are neighbourhood profiles for the Downtown Toronto area. We encourage you to read all the briefs to get a good sense of which neighbourhood fits your needs.
Please check out myhood.ca’s Downtown Toronto Hood Profiles.
A few of quick recommendations for those who know they want to live downtown, but don’t know where:
Students: if you go to U of T, then the Annex is your hood. Ryerson students should take a look at the Garden District and George Brown students should look at the Garden District and St. Lawrence Market.
Young Professionals: The most trendy hoods for young professionals living downtown are West Queen West, Trinity Niagara, Liberty Village and Corktown. However, the standards still include the Annex, Harbourfront and Little Italy.
Families: The west part of the downtown area has great residential neighbourhoods and lots of schools. Take a look at the Annex, Dovercourt Park and Dufferin Grove. However, you’d also be remiss to not look into Cabbagetown on the east side.
Emergency! I need a rental stat! So you need a hood with loads of rental options, close to a subway station, grocery store, banks, liquor/beer store restaurants and shops. Check out the Annex.
