This vibrant west-end Toronto neighborhood with strong community roots is not far from the center of downtown and includes several smaller communities such as Bloordale Village, Bloorcourt, Dovercourt, Wallace Emerson, and the Junction Triangle. There is an array of cafes, restaurants, vintage shops, galleries, and fruit markets as you step out of your home, making this one of the most resident-friendly locations in the city. The fact that this neighborhood is home to multicultural communities only adds to its charm. The residents and businesses participate in an exquisite annual street festival called 'Big on Bloor' featuring art, music and international food.
