NEIGHBOURHOOD News

The moratorium on new restaurants and bars opening on Ossington has been lifted which should make the business owners currently operating on Ossington very happy as any ideas of expansion or improvements are now more feasible.  The strip is gentrifying at a rapid pace allowing for Dundas St to become the next affordable area for the next transformation.  Some of the residents in the area, however, are not as happy with the news since for them it means more late night revelers who forget that there are people whose homes are close by and who have been putting up with a lot of noise and dirt left by the partiers.   A little respect for those homeowners would go a long way!

KING WEST VILLAGE IS A HAPPENING PLACE!

KING WEST VILLAGE IS A HAPPENING PLACE!

 

This continues to be one of the hottest areas in Toronto to live in, work in and visit. Over the past decade, King West, West Queen West & the Ossington strip along with Liberty Village have undergone a fantastic transformation that now epitomizes urban living in the city.

 

 

Where there were once huge industrial operations, now sit modern Victorian-style townhomes. Where streets named Massey and Battery Road evoke the manufacturing plants that built the city, now rise spectacular lofts and condominiums.

 

 But it’s not all residential; the flavour of King West is also found in its great shops, independent galleries, restaurants and clubs. King West is parks, shops, cafes and yoga classes as well as great restaurants & night spots.  Enjoy a morning coffee at one of the local cafés and then hop the streetcar to Bay Street or drive to the Gardiner Expressway – it’s less than five minutes away.

 

 But what really makes King West special is the genuine sense of community here. You actually know your neighbours, you see the same people jogging down the street, shopping and having espresso. It’s this ambience of community that pervades King West and allows the people here to be at home with urban living.
