 This vibrant and bustling Toronto neighbourhood was originally known as North Toronto north of Eglinton Ave West and Chaplin Estates south of Eglinton Ave West. It is, and has always been, popular for its downtown feel in a mid-town location. Populated by many commercial and retail outlets including a mall, two cinemas and plenty of shops and restaurants, this strip of Yonge Street attracts many residents and visots alike.
Stroll Yonge Street to the north and south of Eglington avenue and enjoy all manner of eateries, pubs and coffee shops. The vibrancy of Yonge Street is mirrored by the quiet, mature residential streets that surround it.
Nicknamed 'young and eligible,' for its popularity with the 20-somethings, Yonge and Eglington is the place for singles and new families to snap up new condos, which are sprouting at an extraodinary rate.
For those seeking outdoor activities, the North Toronto Memorial Community Centre offers tennis, soccer, swimming and skating. Plenty of parks dot the area and offer those with dogs a joyous experience.
HOMES: To the north, varied sizes and styles. To the south, larger Tudor and Georgian homes upwards of $1.5 million.
BEST BUYS: Condos which start in the mid $300,000s. North of Eglinton, the occasional three-bedroom, semi-detached fixer-upper can be had for around $600,000.
