Neighbourhood guide

Living in Queen West

The stretch of Queen Street West running west from the downtown core, a well-known arts, fashion and nightlife corridor that shifts from chain retail near University Avenue to the independent galleries and bars of West Queen West.

Location & boundaries

Follows Queen Street West from around University Avenue west toward Trinity Bellwoods, Ossington and, further along, Parkdale and Roncesvalles, bordered to the north by the Fashion District and Trinity-Bellwoods.

History

Once an aging commercial strip, the area gained a music-and-art scene in the late 1970s and 1980s tied to OCAD students; the arrival of Citytv and MuchMusic at 299 Queen Street West and later the Drake and Gladstone hotel renovations accelerated its transformation.

Lifestyle

A busy, creative destination strip of shops, restaurants, bars, galleries and live-music venues, with the western section (West Queen West) recognized as an arts-and-design district.

Housing & property types

Apartments and lofts sit above the shops, with residential streets of Victorian houses in the surrounding neighbourhoods.

Shopping & dining

Retail ranges from international chains such as H&M and Zara near Spadina to independent boutiques, restaurants and long-running live-music rooms including the Horseshoe Tavern and the Rivoli.

Parks & recreation

Trinity Bellwoods Park, on the north side of Queen, is the main adjacent green space.

Getting around

The 501 Queen streetcar runs the length of the strip, with Osgoode station on Line 1 (Yonge–University) at its eastern end.

Attractions & landmarks

Landmarks include 299 Queen Street West (the former Citytv/MuchMusic building), the Gladstone House and Drake hotels, the nearby Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) grounds.

Community facilities

Artscape Youngplace, a community arts hub at 180 Shaw Street, serves the area.

Who it may suit

Buying a home in Queen West

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.
