Living In Harbord Village

Highlights: Historical | Young | Walkable

Tucked between two of Toronto’s liveliest neighbourhoods, you’ll find the quiet enclave of Harbord Village. Just a short walk or bike ride away from the Annex and Little Italy, this quaint pocket of Central Toronto is known for its historic row houses and charming local businesses. The neighbourhood’s mix of fashionable and well-established shops and eateries appeal to its student and family populations, while its tree-lined residential streets provide a serene quality that’s hard to find in the heart of the city.

“Boasting a central location, pretty period architecture, and attractive local amenities, Harbord Village is a wonderful place to live for residents from all walks of life.”
