Hanging
out in Toronto's King West Village
Podcast 
King West Village
is a lively newer community of townhouses, condos, lofts, shops, fashionable restaurants
and artist studios and it’s just minutes from downtown Toronto by the TTC.
King West has undergone a serious transformation from the older, run down part of the city
to it’s new trendy status that now characterizes urban living in the city.
Where there was once industrial factories such as, Macgregor Socks, now sits modern
Victorian-style town homes and high rise lofts and condominiums like DNA (“Downtown’s Next Address”) by
Canderal Stoneridge (one of the city’s more dependable and credible developers) today
you’ll find abundant retail and big stores such as Dominion, trendy bars and
restaurants, and parks.
Other good lofts in the area are the Massey
Harris Lofts, Zen Lofts I & II, Liberty Village (excellent for first time
buyers), Gothic, Westside (good value!), Candy Factory and The Kings, amongst others. You will also find
some great value in older condos like Cityscape
and Summit. The area has also seen some interesting
townhouse developments over the past couple years on Tecumseth and Queen Streets.
King West Village area is bounded by Queen Street on it‘s north, Front on the south,
Dufferin on it’s west flank and Bathurst St. it‘s eastern boundary. Developers
are taking hold of every available piece of real estate in the King West area, driving out
long-time business related fixtures and seriously pushing up values.
The flavour of King West is found not only in its historical roots, but in the modern
amenities of great shops, independent galleries, restaurants and clubs. King West is also
parks, carwashes, fitness centers, health food shops and yoga classes.
