Low-income families looking for Toronto apartments for rent or moderate-income families looking for detached starter homes near parks.

Jane and Finch is a multi-cultural neighbourhood in North York including large Jamaican, South Asian, Italian, Chinese and Vietnamese communities. Jane and Finch has arguably the worst reputation of all Toronto neighbourhoods but it's a neighbourhood that's working hard to transition and one that people shouldn't underestimate.

Jane and Finch was originally created as a suburb of Toronto in the 1960’s in response to growing population and urban sprawl. The idea was that it would be a welcoming community for diverse cultures including housing options for those new to Canada or with low-income, particularly young families.

The social and educational infrastructure was not developed to the extent it needed to be however to support the rapidly growing population. The result was a struggling neighbourhood in need of social and sporting programs for kids, support for single parents and more job opportunities for locals.

Since then, a number of large government-funded social support groups have formed along with dozens of smaller, grassroots organizations to try and correct the missteps taken in the early decades of this community’s development. These change agents are showing signs of success.
