Very European community feel in this neighbourhood. Spent alot of time here from my teen to present and my parents still live here. Sad that Toronto decide to put way too many condominiums on the lake shore in this area, it has ruined the cosy feel of this area by overcrowding it with people.

Great area for bars, restaurants and night time scene. Good for couples and groups of friends. All styles of bars and places to eat with every price range and type of cuisine.

If we could only get rid of the traffic. Nice little restaurants/coffee stops and good European butcher shops

A nice place to meander when you don't have any concrete plans. The variety of shops are interesting with cafes and restaurants in between. It appeared to be a fairly safe neighborhood.

Though it's been years since I moved from there, I still really enjoy spending ime there whether it's poking about he shops or shopping for fresh fruits and... More

Very Slavic/Germanic area of Toronto. If you are looking for Kobasa it's paradise. Or luxury dog stores or bike stores, I am sure Olympic athletes buy their bikes here. It's clean, safe, upper class. For sure better than Yonge at Lawrence as there are less WASPs. If you're Ukrainian this is where to party when they win World Cup.

Very pleasant place to have coffee, walk and meet people, check the bakery, pastry, small design shops, find deals in a shoe stores, stop and get your hair done, meet friends at Starbucks, stop at Chapters and choose the book for this weekend, on a way home get fresh veggie and fruits, make your bank business right when you walking...

The shops are wonderful - lovely to window shop - love to walk around and experience the neighbourhood feel of Bloor West

The village is a great family oriented place but a bit out of the way when you are staying downtown. I would love to live there in a second but for visitors, it makes for a nice stroll on a warmer day
