About 8 Gladstone Ave, Toronto
With a home at 8 Gladstone Avenue, you will live near the heart of the charming residential neighbourhood known as Little Portugal. With many cafes, restaurants, and quaint shops along Queen Street and Dundas Street West, this locale offers an urban experience that is more relaxed and ‘old-worldy’ compared to the bustle of downtown, but there are still local thrills such as The Drake Hotel. With growing opportunities for new businesses, the area is attracting many young ‘hip’ professionals in the art and design industries, with connections to nearby Liberty Village. The convenient TTC along Queen Street and King Street give residents easy access to the excitements of downtown including the Entertainment District and Toronto’s Financial District. Some local hangouts worth checking out include Dandylion restaurant for an interesting Asian and European menu, Wrongbar for a laid-back joint with live music and dance nights, and Sukhothai for authentic Thai food in a family run spot.
Look across the street for groceries at FreshCo, but you can also find West End Food Co-op, Kings Food Market, as well as Metro in Liberty Village.
