    About the Toronto Area  

The City of Toronto sets a standard the world over for real estate, sophistication, multiculturalism and safety. Here neighbourhoods are diverse and friendly. Ethnic pockets boast magnificent dining and warm local charm. The main thoroughfares pulse with life and energy.  

Torontonians love food. We love to eat outdoors in summer at our many fine alfresco dining spots, which often reflect the culture of the neighbourhood the restaurant is set in.  

People watching is extraordinary--from upscale Yorkville/Bloor Street, in , or the Greek Mediteraninian/Danforth to family Beach district or the urban funky Queen Street East in East Toronto.  

Shopping is world class. Museums, galleries and artist communities make Toronto a mecca for the creative and inspired.In Downtown Toronto the new Gooderam and Worts Distillery district is like a small European town boasting theatres, studios, galleries, and cafés for endless hours of pleasure.  

Unique to Toronto is the profusion of green space. Many neighbourhoods are built parks of torontoaround ravines and parklands. Steps from your homes are hiking,snowmobiling trails and park areas 

Fine schools--both public and private--parks and child-centered activities make Toronto a major city that is great to raise kids in. This is a unique feature, as most urban centers seem geared exclusively to adults.  

Torontonians are proud of their city. Its cleanliness, class and convenience with subways , buses and highways to take you whereever you want 

One of the first things to know if you area buyer or a seller of real estate,the MLS will show prices tend to be a little  higher in the Toronto area than in outlying regions (like prices tend to be in any cosmopolitan urban area). That is the "cost" of having an abundance of art and culture at your fingertips.  

Therefore, if you plan to move here you should know that the average price of homes, codos and townhomes is similar to the price of luxury houses or executive homes in outlying areas. We feel the cost of living in Toronto to include Central Toronto, downtown and East  Toronto is well worth it, but we want you to know about this up front, so you are not surprised!  

Toronto is a city of many wonderful neighbourhoods. Each of these has its own identity and idiosycrases and they contribute to this wonderful community we call Toronto.
