Queen West (C01)
The Queen West neighbourhood runs along Queen St. from University Ave. to Strachan Ave, and is made up of several distinct historic neighbourhoods communities; as a result, housing styles are varied and interesting. You’ll find everything from Victorian homes to new loft and condo developments, private detached homes and public housing, all peacefully coexisting in a vibrant, colourful area.
Queen West has plenty of trendy shops, nightclubs, restaurants and more. East of Spadina, you will find a great combination of mainstream stores and funky independent shops. Head west of Spadina to find great independent designers, used record shops, cozy restaurants and stores geared towards the loft dwellers in the area. You are also within walking distance of Chinatown, Kensington Market and the world-renowned Art Gallery of Ontario.
Trinity Bellwoods Park is the largest park in the inner city and is a favourite destination of area residents. Alexandra Park, Stanley Park, and Grange City Park offer residents additional green space.
If you work downtown, there is no better place to live. The Queen streetcar runs regularly to downtown and the subway (though plenty of people who live in this area walk or cycle to work). Lakeshore Blvd. and the Gardiner Expressway are right around the corner.
