south parkdale condos for Sale

Parkdale is a neighbourhood in Toronto’s West End with a varied past of big ups and big downs. From an upper-income community with many notable mansions at the start of the 20th century, the development of the Gardiner Expressway brought Parkdale to sudden halt. But that’s all changing now at a fairly rapid pace. Young professionals, artists and hipsters are flocking to the area and with them come new Toronto condos.

There is some amazing waterfront access in Parkdale, with beaches and walking trails that can make you forget you’re in the city, plus some small parks sprinkled throughout.

Bordered by Liberty Village, Little Portugal, and High Park, there are loads of options for shopping, dining and entertainment all within a few short blocks. Some would say that Parkdale has hit a Renaissance recently and become the new place to be in Toronto, and with regard to Toronto condos and lofts, we would have to agree.
