Neighbourhood guide

Living in Parkdale

A dense, mixed-income west-end neighbourhood near the lake, known for its Victorian housing, large rental population, creative community and one of the largest Tibetan communities outside Asia.

Location & boundaries

South of the rail corridor near Queen and Dundas, bounded by Roncesvalles Avenue to the west, Dufferin Street to the east and the Gardiner Expressway and Lake Ontario to the south.

History

Settled in the 1850s, Parkdale incorporated as a village in 1879 and was annexed by Toronto in 1889. Once an affluent area of mansions, it was cut off from its waterfront when the Gardiner Expressway and Lake Shore works were built in the 1950s, demolishing the Sunnyside Amusement Park.

Lifestyle

A diverse, densely populated and often working-class area that has long been an entry point for newcomers, with an active arts and independent-business scene along Queen Street West.

Housing & property types

A mix of 19th-century Victorian houses (many subdivided into apartments and rooming houses) and mid-century apartment buildings, with a high share of rental housing.

Shopping & dining

Queen Street West is the main commercial strip of restaurants, bars and galleries, and a Tibetan business district known as "Little Tibet" adds Himalayan restaurants and shops.

Parks & recreation

Sunnyside Beach and the Sunnyside Bathing Pavilion lie along the lake (reached over the expressway), with smaller local parks such as Masaryk Park and rowing and boating clubs on Lake Shore Boulevard.

Schools

The area is served by the Toronto District School Board and Toronto Catholic District School Board; schools include Parkdale Collegiate Institute and Parkdale Public School.

Getting around

The 501 Queen and 504 King streetcars serve the area, with Lansdowne and Dufferin buses connecting north to Line 2 (Bloor–Danforth).

Attractions & landmarks

Landmarks include the Sunnyside Bathing Pavilion, the Palais Royale dance hall (1922) and the Gladstone and Drake hotels on Queen West.

Community facilities

Facilities include the Parkdale Public Library, the Masaryk-Cowan Community Recreation Centre, the Parkdale Community Health Centre and numerous settlement agencies.

Who it may suit

May suit renters and creatives wanting a diverse, transit-served neighbourhood close to downtown and the lake.

Buying a home in Parkdale

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.
