Neighbourhood guide

Living in Kensington Market

Kensington Market is a distinctive, multicultural downtown neighbourhood of narrow streets, storefront houses, vintage shops and food vendors, designated a National Historic Site of Canada.

Location & boundaries

It lies just west of Chinatown, bounded roughly by College Street, Spadina Avenue, Dundas Street West and Bathurst Street, with its core along Augusta, Nassau, Baldwin and Kensington Avenues.

History

Subdivided from the Denison estate in the 1850s, the area became the Jewish Market in the early 20th century before successive Portuguese, Caribbean, East Asian and Latin American communities settled it; it was named a National Historic Site in 2006.

Lifestyle

The market has a bohemian, pedestrian-friendly feel, with monthly car-free Pedestrian Sundays bringing music and street life.

Housing & property types

Housing consists largely of narrow Victorian row houses from the 1880s, many with ground-floor shops.

Shopping & dining

The market is packed with produce stalls, butchers, fishmongers, bakeries, cheese and spice shops, vintage-clothing stores and diverse restaurants.

Parks & recreation

Bellevue Square Park, with its statue of actor Al Waxman, is the neighbourhood's central green space.

Getting around

The 510 Spadina and 506 Carlton streetcars run along its edges, connecting to Spadina and other subway stations.

Attractions & landmarks

Landmarks include Bellevue Square Park, the historic Kiever and Anshei Minsk synagogues, and the community's outdoor market itself.

Who it may suit

May suit buyers wanting a walkable, eclectic downtown neighbourhood with independent food and retail.

Buying a home in Kensington Market

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.
