Parkdale doesn’t always pop up at the top of Google’s list for “nicest neighbourhoods in Toronto.” But don’t let the rankings fool you; Parkdale is one of our favourite areas, and not just for first-time buyers. (Shockingly, the Internet doesn’t know everything, at least not when it comes to the best Toronto neighbourhoods.)
Partly, it’s because of the scenery. As an older neighbourhood, there are mature trees and foliage everywhere, and it seems like nearly everyone has a garden. Then there’s the breathtaking architecture.
Picture a series of historic Victorian buildings all maintained and upgraded to a modern standard. It’s like a journey through the Victorian past, but with all the comforts and conveniences of today.
Mostly, though, we love the incredible community spirit. Everyone looks out for you here, and it’s easy to feel as though you’re part of a giant, extended family. For a first-time buyer, Parkdale’s mix of condos and townhouses provides accessible price points. Buying a house here isn’t just feasible, it’s highly desirable.
