This hip, growing neighbourhood is home to increasing numbers of young professionals and families, drawn by affordable prices, access to amenities and the quiet, village-like atmosphere. New, trendy shops and pubs continually pop up along the commercial strip of Dundas Street West, while convenient access to major arteries and good public transit draw residents out of the downtown core.

Townhouse style condos and Toronto lofts span a range of prices and styles and are being bought up quickly as this neighbourhood becomes more popular. But there are also new Toronto condos under development, with more to come. Enjoying a strong residential vibe, the calm and quiet streets and avenues of the Junction are tree lined and family-friendly, not far from the green spaces of High Park or the charm of Corso Italia-Davenport.

Some good places to grab a bite are Axis Gallery & Grill, Curry Twist or Gabbys. Venture a little further for a meal at one of the neighbourhood's restaurants. If you love coffee, you're not too far from Agora Cafe located at 3015 Dundas St W. Nearby grocery options: Metro is not far.

Transit riders take note, you are nearby to the closest Bus Stop (Old Stock Yards Rd at West Toronto St) with route Stockyards. For drivers, the closest highway is Gardiner Expressway and is within a 9-minute drive, making it easier to get into and out of the city getting on and off at Dowling Ave.
