Dovercourt - Wallace - Emerson - Junction

This is one of Toronto's most culturally diverse pockets, with a wide range of housing from historic homes to modern condominiums. The restaurant scene has been gentrifying fast, and pedestrian-friendly streets make daily errands easy without a car. There is also value in the neighbourhood's established identity. Buyers are not relying on a future promise of what the area might become; much of the lifestyle, community infrastructure and local character is already here. That combination helps explain the area's appeal to culturally diverse families and young professionals, while the range of streets and housing styles can offer very different experiences within the same broader neighbourhood. It is easy to understand why people put down roots here: the neighbourhood offers convenience now, with the kind of established character that is difficult to manufacture.
