High Park is one of the most beloved neighbourhoods in Toronto, not only because of the park, although that is a major factor. From Bloor West Village to Swansea Village, there is a West End vibe like no other, and the beauty of High Park makes it only better. The whole area just has this laid back quality that draws everyone into its web, with loads of cafes and green space, you can easily lose a whole day people watching. Developers have been eyeing the neighbourhood, and there are some really nice new Toronto condos going up along the Queensway and more planned in the near future.

But the park remains central to this neighbourhood, drawing the community together with the blooming of the cherry blossoms in the spring, Shakespeare in the park in the summer, and the charm of the High Park Zoo. If you fancy a bit of shopping, Bloor West Village has a multitude of boutiques, bakeries and food markets, or you can pop over to the amazing restaurants along Roncesvalles and enjoy the waterfront access in Parkdale. There is a tonne to explore and enjoy, and High-Park Swansea is a perfect place for a home base.

Living in a High Park condo you will enjoy great transit convenience, with the Queen Streetcar running 24/7, plus numerous subway stops on Bloor St. For the car lovers, the Gardiner Expressway is right out your front door, ready to take you downtown or further afield.

For grabbing your groceries, Nicholson's No Frills is an 8-minute walk.

If you are reliant on transit, don't fear, there is a Bus Stop (Runnymede Rd at Morningside Ave) only a 5 minute walk. For drivers, the closest highway is Gardiner Expressway and is within a few minutes drive, making it easier to get into and out of the city using Dowling Ave ramps.
