Recognized as Toronto’s second Little Italy after the College Street strip, Corso Italia-Davenport boasts an active, family-friendly community that sits along St. Clair Avenue West between Oakwood and Caledonia Road.

Owing its Italian heritage to a rush of immigration in the 1950’s, it’s now a long-standing home to many shops, cafés, restaurants, fresh bakeries, and sweet gelato parlours. Following the upgrade of the streetcar tracks to right of way service, St. Clair Avenue has experienced a revitalizing surge of posh clothing shops and bright cafés to draw residents to its busy storefronts.

The West End is growing and Corso Italia-Davenport is certain to see new Toronto condos popping up very soon. Currently, there are chic Toronto lofts that offer entrance to this charming neighbourhood, along with the convenient public transit access along St. Clair, Dufferin, and Oakwood to keep residents connected to downtown.

There are a lot of great restaurants. If you can't start your day without caffeine fear not, your nearby choices include Tim Hortons. For those that love cooking, St Clair Fruit Market is only steps away.

Getting around the area is made simple. There is St Clair Ave West at Earlscourt Ave Bus Stop, only steps away, with route St.clair-junction Night Bus, and route St. Clair nearby. Residents also have access to Allen Rd, which is within a 9-minute drive getting on and off at Lawrence Ave W.
