Kensington Market

Toronto's most diverse and walkable pocket, packed with vintage shops, international grocers, street art, and global food. A vibrant, eclectic National Historic Site with Victorian homes and creative energy steps from downtown.

Runnymede

West-end neighbourhood blending Tudor cottages and modern homes near Bloor West Village. Over 400 shops and restaurants, plus easy access to High Park and subway.

Queens Quay East

Toronto's reimagined waterfront with new condos, parks, and trails. Master-planned Bayside community, Sugar Beach, and future LRT connections steps from the lake.

Yorkville

Toronto’s luxury village: flagship boutiques, top dining, and full‑service residences steps from two subway lines. Polished on Bloor and surprisingly intimate along heritage side streets.

Riverside

Queen St E main‑street energy meets Victorian and Edwardian homes, anchored by the Broadview Hotel and The Opera House. A tight‑knit east‑end vibe with everyday conveniences and the future Ontario Line adding momentum.

Rosedale

A quiet, ravine‑lined enclave of century homes that feels like a hidden village beside downtown. Trails to Evergreen Brick Works and proximity to Bloor‑Yorkville offer privacy, nature, and prestige in equal measure.
