York 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 York area in Toronto. 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 York Toronto Hood Profiles.

A few of quick recommendations for those who know they want to live in the York area, but don’t know where:

Students & Young Professionals: The hoods within the York area aren't really for you. The area is mostly homeowners, specifically families. However, we have a few recommendations if this is your area of choice. Both Old Mill and Caledonia-Fairbanks (specifically at Wilson and Allen Road) are close to TTC subway locations. As well, you should consider Mount Dennis, which houses a number of apartment buildings.

Families: There are many family neighbourhoods throughout the York area, however most have few rental options. As such, we recommend the Mount Dennis which has a multitude of rental options.

Emergency! I need a rental stat! So you need a hood with loads of rental options, close to public transit, grocery store, banks, liquor/beer store restaurants and shops. Check out Caledonia-Fairbanks.
