West End Homes For Sale

The West End of Toronto has everything a neighborhood just outside the downtown core should have. It’s slightly quieter, with less traffic, but isn’t short on culture and lively events. In the midst of Parkdale’s ongoing gentrification, here you can find trendy bars like The Yukon, a thriving thrift store scene and a variety of Tibetan restaurants specializing in chili momo’s, yummy dumplings that just might get you through the winter. Then there’s the cozy, quaint and welcoming neighborhood of Roncesvalles, with its thriving Polish community, annual festival and gorgeous small town streets lined with cafes. The Junction area is now an industrial artists haven, full of galleries with great reputations like Katzman Contemporary and Arsenal Toronto. Explore the ethnic enclaves of Little Italy or Little Portugal and the largest park situated entirely within the city of Toronto, High Park. With all of this, it’s easy to see why Toronto’s West End is the hippest part of the city.
