Neighborhood Profile

Along the Don River, Riverdale and Riverside have become some of the city’s most sought-after residential locales. The former is home to the popular and picturesque Riverdale Park East, while the latter has become a hub of redevelopment. Further east, Danforth Avenue is a mosaic of cultures, starting with Greektown and including shops & restaurants representing nationalities from all over the world. Queen Street East and Gerrard Street East anchor Leslieville, a fashionable local amongst young professionals. Continuing along Queen, The Beaches offer a resort-like atmosphere in the heart of the city, with a scenic boardwalk and a host of summer events in Woodbine Park.

A host of streetcar, subway and bus routes crisscross the area. All major east-west thoroughfares feature streetcar service westward into Downtown Toronto, while service is also available on Broadview Avenue. All north-south bus routes in the area connect to subway stations on Line 2 Bloor-Danforth, which runs along the northern edge of the East End.
