 ABOUT THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
The High Park Roncesvalles neighbourhood is a wonderful mix of Polish/ Eastern European, young professionals seeking better air and working artists. This vibrant mix is reflected in the creatively renovated houses, the developing work/live lofts along Sorauren, Dundas and Ritchie and the galleries here and there throughout Roncesvalles Village.
One can walk to the east for funky, artistic elegance or to the west for the serenity and grandeur of High Park.
The Village’s heartbeat is along Roncesvalles Avenue from Dundas to Queen Street. Here we find the traditional Polish delis and bakeries, pharmacies and other ethnic businesses, increasingly mixed with ‘trendier’ boutiques like Dresser and Morningstar. The Establishment stamp is here as well…notice the Second Cup, Timothy’s, Roger’s Video and Starbucks is coming. There are still the old standby Polish restaurants but they have to move over for currency like Domani’s, River, The Fat Cat, The Local , The Freshwood and The Silver Spoon. Hugh’s Room provides the latest in live jazz and other ‘now’ music.
And Sorauren on the East Side of the Village is developing a funky face with little establishments like The Chocolatier, The Art Box and Mitzi’s Diner…a great breakfast/brunch place with Sorauren Park at the heart of this neighbourhood.
There is a palpable feeling of both excitement and stability which runs through the Village neighbourhoods…a great place to live, go to school, work and be entertained.
There is a great variety of schools from Fern Avenue and St. Vincent de Paul’s to Howard Park and the Montessori.
And the Village is extremely accessible and central transportation-wise…The Dundas Streetcar will let you off at the AGO or almost anywhere in Toronto, you can streetcar or walk to the Bloor Subway and it is a few minutes to the main arteries of the Gardiner, the Lakeshore and the Queensway.
