Hot Listings in the GTA’s Hottest Neighbourhoods

Leslieville is the perfect place for growing families who don’t want to move out of the city, but also want to live in a quieter enclave with plenty of park space and family-functional amenities like schools, grocery stores and daycares. At the same time the neighbourhood is bursting with hip cafes and restaurants so parents don’t have to feel like they are totally sacrificing their vibrant Toronto lifestyles for family life. The best part? You can be downtown in minutes to the West, and relaxing and strolling in The Beaches to the East.

King West is arguably the young professional’s quintessential residential. Funky restos, lounges, clubs and cafes line the streets. Mature brick buildings house new tech companies and hard lofts, and boutique condos are intertwined with yoga studios. Take a look at fantastic one-bedroom listings in this energetic, modern-meets-age-old-architecture neighbourhood.

This up-and-coming hood boasts some of the best property value increases over the past couple years. It’s a great time to buy here in this sense, if you are looking for a decent investment opportunity. The peaceful, old town vibe is also refreshing, but at the same time The Junction is seeing plenty of great new eateries popping up all over the place, and the neighbourhood is definitely becoming an old-meets-new sort of area.

Vaughan is one of Southern Ontario’s fastest growing cities. This family-friendly centre is ideal for suburban conveniences, and decent commutes into Toronto for work (this is set to improve even more with the Downsview subway extension that is currently in the works). The area is also highly accessible from major highways like Highway 400 and the 407, and, the 401 to the south, as well as GO Transit.

Toronto’s lower east side is one of the city’s fastest developing areas. Set to be the east side’s answer to Liberty Village, this area already has more green space planned and highly efficient accessibility via the King streetcar, Eastern Avenue, Lake Shore Boulevard and The DonValley Parkway/Gardiner. There are plenty of new developments in the area and a slew of new businesses are sure to follow.
