Neighbourhood guide

Living in Danforth

The Danforth, widely known as Greektown, is an east-end commercial-and-residential strip famous for its dense concentration of Greek and other restaurants and its lively late-night dining scene.

Location & boundaries

It centres on Danforth Avenue roughly between Chester Avenue and Dewhurst Boulevard, next to Riverdale to the south, Playter Estates to the west and East Danforth to the east.

History

The street is named after American contractor Asa Danforth Jr., and the area became a major settlement for Greek immigrants after the First World War, growing into one of North America's largest Greektowns by the 1970s and 80s.

Lifestyle

The strip is food-focused and busy, with bilingual English-and-Greek street signs and a strong restaurant culture.

Housing & property types

Early-20th-century houses, some dating to around 1910, line the residential streets behind the main avenue.

Shopping & dining

Danforth Avenue has one of the highest concentrations of restaurants per kilometre anywhere, spanning Greek tavernas plus Thai, Chinese, Indian and other cuisines.

Parks & recreation

Alexander the Great Parkette, at Danforth and Logan, honours the area's Greek heritage.

Getting around

Line 2 Bloor-Danforth runs beneath the street with Chester, Pape and Donlands stations, plus Broadview station at the west end.

Attractions & landmarks

Landmarks include the Church of the Holy Name and the annual Taste of the Danforth festival held each August.

Who it may suit

Buying a home in Danforth

In Ontario, most resale house offers go firm quickly in competitive markets, so line up financing and consider a pre-offer inspection. Your lawyer will search title, check for work orders and permits, and confirm the property's zoning.

Budget for Ontario's land transfer tax on top of the price; purchases in the City of Toronto also pay a separate municipal land transfer tax. First-time buyers may qualify for refunds on both.
