Keep in mind that you have to pick an answer to each question below…
A- your ideal Toronto neighbourhood is…
Liberty Village
You are an urban, forward-thinking young professional who wants the city and village feel all in one. You’re active, social and love having everything in your world just outside your front door. You probably like dogs.
A- your ideal Toronto neighbourhood is…
St. Lawrence Market
You love the city and having your career, social pursuits and home life all in one spot but you still like the feel that a real neighbourhood offers. You appreciate architecture, great design, restaurants and nightlife, being within walking distance of the most famous market in the world and the chiller vibe that just east of Yonge presents.
A- your ideal Toronto neighbourhood is…
Queen West
Congratulations. You fit in to where Vogue Magazine calls the ‘second coolest hood in the world.’ Whether you like the description or not, you’re pretty hip and undoubtedly cool. You have a real taste for what is unique rather than the run-ofthe-mill and your taste in art and design is exceptional.
A- your ideal Toronto neighbourhood is…
Annex
You have amazing taste. Period. In architecture and design, clothing and style, the books you read and in how to make the perfect Friday night come alive. You’re very intelligent. What you love most about your home is it’s look and its ridiculous proximity in allowing you to still have the city life. You did not vote for Rob Ford in the last election.
A- your ideal Toronto neighbourhood is…
The Junction
You’re the quintessential not-to-young and not-to-old Torontonian who’s – wait for it – still got “it”. You’re out of the downtown condo scene now and would rather your walkability be to independent shops instead of five-star restaurants. You like live music, drinks with friends and art (a lot). You have either a stroller or a bike….but not both.
A- your ideal Toronto neighbourhood is…
Leslieville
You’re at about that point in your life when you should maybe consider settling down but you’d like to do that while not having to give up the city life you love. You want to brunch with your university friends but bring your baby along. Be able to buy vinyl, grab a free-trade coffee and hit the park all in an hour. You love and want the feel that a real neighbourhood offers.
A- your ideal Toronto neighbourhood is…
Riverdale
For you it’s about character, well-maintained history and tree-lined streets rather than floor-to-ceiling glass and amenities. Condos are a thing of the past for you. You’re instead all about the house in a great school district, near expansive parks, organic grocerers and friendly Greek restaurant owners serving meat on a skewer. You still love the city but the downtown is where you work and your neighbourhood is where you play.
A- your ideal Toronto neighbourhood is…
Lawrence Park
You love Toronto and did not follow your friends to the burbs after you had kids, but the downtown is not your scene. A beautiful house, a great school for your kids, a tight-nit community and lush parks are much more your vibe now. You have great style, incredible classiness and a gourmet steak with big red wine will always be your favourite.
