King West Village is one of the most dynamic neighbourhoods in Toronto. It’s a community full of townhouses, eclectic shops, fashionable restaurants and artist studios minutes from downtown Toronto by the TTC. In the past few years, King West has undergone a spectacular transformation that now epitomizes urban living in the city. It wasn’t always like that. Today it was once a huge industrial area with factories such as Macgregor Socks. The memories of those times are still present in the form of street signs - many streets bear names such as Massey and Battery road after the manufacturing plants. This is, however, all gone today - now you can see new spectacular lofts and condominiums served by retail and big box stores such as Dominion, offering nearby cafes, art galleries, trendy bars and restaurants, and parks that provide places to walk, bicycle, rollerblade, and entertain friends. |
