Downtown Toronto is a bustling neighbourhood and the city's premier work/live/play zone for energetic urbanites who love the vibrancy and action of downtown living. This area is ideal for those who want to go from work to the gym, to the movies or out for drinks and back home again, all within a short stroll or TTC ride away.

Situated in Toronto’s core, the downtown area is really split into two sections: Downtown West and Downtown East.

Downtown West is bordered by Yonge Street and Spadina with Queen Street and Gardiner defining its north-south perimeter. This western portion of Toronto's core encompasses Toronto’s Entertainment, Fashion and Financial districts. Interesting piece of history: this area was original a military garrison, set up to protect the old Town of York against attack from our neighbours to the South.

Downtown East runs east of Yonge to Sherbourne, from Shuter to Bloor. Downtown East is an eclectic neighbourhood popular with students, thanks to its proximity to Ryerson University and George Brown College.
