Corsa Italia - Davenport
Contains the traditional neighbourhoods of:
Earlscourt, Regal Heights
These days, it should be called Ruas Português, or even Brasileiro: as is the wont of the GTA’s ever-marching parade of immigrants, the nabe’s first inhabitants have moved up and out, making space for a new influx. That’s been a bit of a downer for the area’s commercial strip on St. Clair, which hasn’t yet received a proper infusion of shops and restaurants catering to the locals. With luck, the new streetcar right-of-way lane will help attract crowds; for now, Dupont’s Galleria and the Dufferin Mall aren’t too far away. The housing stock was mostly built in the first half of the 20th century, now accessorized with all the wrought iron and tidy gardens one would expect of this set; prices start around $300,000 for a detached home, with numbers rising as you move south. Considering the neighbourhood’s history, it’s unsurprising that many of the nearby schools are Catholic, including the girls-only Loretto College high school.
