Extreme Junction
At long last, the boom has come to Dundas West and High Park Blvd.
It wasn’t so long ago that prostitutes and their johns used the Junction as their clubhouse, but now, with high-end cafés, haute chocolate shops and even an organic market moving in, this chronically on-the-brink neighbourhood has finally graduated from next big thing to officially right-side-of-the-tracks.

What: A fully renovated five-bedroom
with cathedral ceilings in the master and original Victorian stained glass. Its selling price heralds the neighbourhood’s future

for $911,000

Where: 135 Medland St.

it went for $571,000—$71,000 over asking
When: April
Where: 13 Shipman St.

When: March 31
