At any given time of day, you can find an assortment of residents strolling along the shopping district, ranging from the Seniors who’ve lived there for decades to the young urban parents pushing their strollers and walking their dogs.

This hood has an artistic and creative vibe which has sustained such cultural venues as the Revue Cinema, which is one of Canada’s oldest movie houses. This tight-knit community banded together to help declare the Revue a historical site in 2007 and encouraged some local residents to purchase the building and allow the community to operate the cinema as a non-profit business.

Blended together you’ll find two-storey, two-and-a-half storey and three-storey houses. Unlike today’s mishmash of infills, these homes flow together for a timeless landscape.

Today, many of these properties have been renovated and restored while still keeping their original period details intact. Modern conveniences have been added to compliment contemporary designs. High-end finishes along with state-of-the-art technology marry together with the vintage character.

Like many Urban Toronto neighbourhoods, parking is at a premium and it’s another "green" reason for considering using "Zipcars" on demand as well as public transportation. Many of the local residents use permit street parking with some of the properties having rear laneways along with garages, front pad parking or a rare private drive.
