Riverdale

Located between Cabbagetown, the Danforth, Broadview Avenue, and Leslieville, it’s a pocket-sized gem that seems to pay tribute to the simple pleasures of everyday life without losing the everyday luxuries of Toronto city-life. Streets in this area are lined with trees, abundant greenery, friendly faces, neighbourly porches, happy adults and playing children. The many Edwardian and Victorian homes lend itself beautifully to families and young professionals looking for a sense of peace close to the hectic city.

THE STATS (Scored out of 100)

Few homes offer a better—or more expensive—view of Toronto than those on the lip of Riverdale Park East, this lush ’hood’s majestic centrepiece, with soccer fields, tennis courts, a track and a swimming pool. Riverdalers are obsessed with their turf, and for good reason: there are buzzy restaurants along the Danforth, shopping deals galore on Gerrard and great schools, both public (Withrow Avenue) and private (Montcrest). Residents may have recently fumed about never-ending shoots for the film It at a decrepit mansion on Pape, but most of the area’s semis are quiet, well kept and clown free.
