Living in Toronto inspires fantasies of being a part of a booming culture. Happening neighbourhoods like the Annex, Kensington Market, and the Junction promise to immerse you in the best of what Toronto has to offer.
Don’t endure Toronto, rather embrace and love it! Let architecture inspire you on the walk home from work or school, stopping along the way to dip into trendy cafes, vintage shops, and to say hello to friends that you run into on the streets.
These are all pretty standard experiences when renting in any one of these three trendy districts.
