The Junction is a tucked away pocket in the west end of Toronto filled with history going back to the 1800's.
This area covers from Runnymede Road to the C.
N.
Railway corridor to the east, and north of Annette to south of St.
Clair Road.
The Junction neighbourhood is clearly in the upswing with a small-village feel that is both a benefit to the current community and a draw to home buyers and new artsy shops that are opening.
It's close to High Park and The Bloor West Village with its own unique character.
The Junction also offers easy access to transit with buses and the Bloor-Danforth subway line or a quick route can take you to the Q.
E.
W.
& Lakeshore Blvd.
There are great schools offered within the neighbourhood for young families.
Along with being so conveniently close to High Park it boasts another unique green space called the West Toronto Railpath.
It opened in 2009, as a multi-use asphalt trail for pedestrians and cycles that runs from the Junction towards Dundas and Lansdowne.
It's a wonderful example of urban rails to trails projects that transforms former rail lines and the future plans include expanding the trail to Liberty Village.
Even the "New York Times" has made mention of The Junction, that many have predicted will become the next "Queen West".
This funky hood is already attracting artists and entrepreneurs with its cheaper rents and converted industrial, warehouse spaces and loft conversions.
The main strip along Dundas Street houses character vintage buildings that today are coming to life with organic eateries and grocers, alternative health options, raw food and multi-cultural restaurants, bars, cafe's, art schools and galleries, Pilates and Yoga studios to antique shops.
People stroll along the streets stopping off at different eclectic shops ranging from arts and crafts to yummy organic chocolate and to die for ice cream.
There are a number of amazing restaurants where you can find both live entertainment and art exhibits.
The Junction is also becoming known for its "furniture, design and vintage interior" stores with an artistic and unique edge.
Many of today's buyers looking at the Junction area are attracted by the reasonable real estate values.
For those that have been priced out of the core of downtown Toronto and the already established west end neighbourhoods such as Roncesvalles Village, High Park and even The Bloor West Village, The Junction with its small village feel makes a great option.
Many of the homes in this area go back to the 19thto early 20thcentury with the original features of leaded and stained glass windows and wood accents.
Mixed throughout are semis and detached houses with a number of Victorians as well.
There's a blend of both renovated and original properties, appealing to different types of buyers.
Recently there have been converted lofts and condos being built adding another appeal.
Part of the community charm attracting hipsters and delighting the residents, are the number of neighbourhood attractions and community spirit.
If you'd love being able to walk to some great organic shops and eateries, while getting great value, this is the hood for you!
