About Grange Park

Grange Park from balcony of 488 University Ave 4610.
The Toronto Regional Real Estate Board calls Grange Park “Toronto’s first elite neighbourhood.”

While a lot has changed since the 1800’s, Grange Park is still a wonderful place to live, work, shop and play.

According to Toronto Rentals:

There are three shopping districts in the neighbourhood: Baldwin Village between Beverley and McCaul, Queen Street West, and Chinatown at Spadina and Dundas.

Love shopping? You’ll find everything from malls and trendy boutiques to street stalls (Pixabay).

When it comes to food and drinks, Grange Park doesn’t disappoint.

Neighbourhood Guide declares:

The tiny Baldwin Village shopping district…is filled with cozy little cafes and restaurants that will delight any palate.

At night, the neighbourhood bars come alive with music and mescal tastings (Pixabay).

Another reason to call Grange Park home is its fantastic arts and culture.

Besides countless art galleries:

Grange Park is also home to a large number of artists. The Art Gallery of Ontario, Ontario Crafts Council, and Ontario College of Art, are all located in Grange Park.

Although Grange Park seems like a place for sophisticated adults, it also caters to kids.

Take the newly revitalized Grange Park playground.

Kids in T.O proclaims:

The three play structures are made from wood with colourful shapes inspired by an artist’s studio, providing endless opportunities to climb, slide, crawl and just plain explore.
