Please check out myhood.ca's West-End Toronto Hood Profiles.
A few of quick recommendations for those who know they want to live in Toronto's west-end, but don’t know where:
Students: Most universities and colleges aren’t located in this area. Assuming you want to live close to a subway station and close to a lot of young people then we suggest The Junction and Parkdale.
Young Professionals: Bloor West Village and High Park have been the choice of many young professionals for years. However, The Junction and Parkdale (along Queen) have become trendy choices for young professionals as well.
Families: Swansea, High Park and Bloor West Village are great areas for families. However, they do tend to be expensive areas. For those on a tighter budget, we suggest taking a look at Bloordale Village and certain areas of Parkdale (note that some areas of Parkdale are sketchy)
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 High Park.
