bloor west village 3 bedroom houses for sale

Bloor West Village homes for sale were typically built in the late 19th century or within the first quarter of the 20^th century and tend to be Edwardian or Tudor in style. There’s a certain heft to Bloor West Village properties–they feel sturdy and well-built but with an elegance in detail that’s hard to find at this price point in other parts of the city. They're usually good-sized, detached brick houses with deep front porches.

Lots here tend to be smaller than other Toronto neighbourhoods but this is made up for by the charm of its turn-of-the-century homes with character details such as real wood trim work, original hardwood floors and stunning oak staircases. These are some of the best value homes for sale in the City for the size and character that you're getting.

In terms of entry-level condominiums, buyers will find more options for condos and lofts west of here in High Park and Roncesvalles Village but there is one new condo development in the works for Bloor West Village at 2265 Bloor St W. by Durie St.
