Welcome to King West

Neighbourhood Description

The King West area has gone through dramatic changes in past years.  Once an industrial warehouse area, it has now become one of the top urban living spots in Toronto.  Filled with townhouses, condominiums and lofts, King West is minutes from the best night spots in Toronto.  Local cafes, bars, parks and restaurants are all at your doorstep.  On the outer regions of this area there is a sprinkling of houses for younger families but condominium properties far out number these.
