Dufferin Grove
Contains the traditional neighbourhoods of:
Brockton Village, Dufferin Grove
Brockton Village occupies the western half of this district, and its affordable prices have been a draw to artists who live and maintain studios in the area. Many of its streets of modest homes stretch out in odd directions because of the railway tracks east of Lansdowne, so the geography can be a little baffling at first. Eventually one discovers that High Park is within walking distance to the west, and a commercially diverse section of Bloor Street sits to the north. Portuguese can still be heard up and down the streets of Dufferin Grove, which occupies the eastern half of the district, and has a lovely park with the same name. Lately, the Victorian and Edwardian two-bedroom row houses of Dufferin Grove have lured ambitious buyers who have been priced well beyond Roncesvalles’ grander borders.
