Neighbourhood guide

Living in The Annex

A leafy, largely residential central neighbourhood next to the University of Toronto, known for its distinctive late-Victorian "Annex" houses, student population and lively Bloor Street.

Location & boundaries

In Midtown, bounded by Dupont Street to the north, Bloor Street to the south, Bathurst Street to the west and Avenue Road to the east. Yorkville lies to the east and Seaton Village to the west.

History

Developer Simeon Janes created the "Toronto Annex" subdivision in 1886 and the area was annexed to Toronto in 1887. Early residents included Timothy Eaton and George Gooderham, and in the 1960s residents helped stop the proposed Spadina Expressway.

Lifestyle

A walkable, tree-lined area mixing families, University of Toronto students and faculty, with a long-standing intellectual and activist reputation (former residents include Jane Jacobs and Margaret Atwood).

Housing & property types

Best known for the "Annex-style" house — a late-19th-century blend of Richardsonian Romanesque arches and Queen Anne turrets — alongside Victorian and Edwardian homes and some mid-century apartments; hundreds of buildings carry heritage protection.

Shopping & dining

Bloor Street between Bathurst and Avenue Road offers a mix of casual restaurants and independent shops, with Koreatown extending west of Bathurst.

Parks & recreation

Local green space includes Vermont Square and, in adjacent Seaton Village, the Bill Bolton Arena and a boys-and-girls club.

Schools

Bordering the University of Toronto's St. George campus, the area is served by the Toronto District School Board and sits near many university facilities.

Getting around

Several subway stations serve the area — Bathurst and Spadina on Line 2 (Bloor–Danforth) and St. George, Spadina and Dupont on Line 1 (Yonge–University–Spadina) — plus streetcars on Bathurst and Spadina.

Attractions & landmarks

Nearby landmarks include Casa Loma, Spadina House and the Bata Shoe Museum at Bloor and St. George.

Community facilities

A Toronto Public Library branch and community facilities in adjacent Seaton Village serve residents.

Who it may suit

May suit students, academics and buyers wanting central heritage homes with strong transit.

Buying a home in The Annex

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.
