What to Expect: Easy commutes and creative energy. Major streets of Dundas, Ossington, Bathurst, and Queen West border the neighbourhood, which means you can always find a nearby bus, streetcar or subway station to get anywhere- fast. Other than painting in the park, there are plenty of places to explore your artistic side. Artscape Youngplace is a non-profit offering programs based on art, culture, and community. The Lower Ossington Theatre is a cozy space for a show, and art galleries add some eye candy to the neighbourhood. For nighttime entertainment, there are plenty patios, bars, pubs, and clubs in Trinity Bellwoods.
What NOT to Expect: If you're driving, it can take longer during rush hour, so plan extra time. It takes about twenty minutes to get to the Gardiner Expressway or Lakeshore Boulevard. To get downtown, the subway is the fastest choice.
A Day in the Life: Wake up with a view of trees from your Trinity Bellwoods condo. Get a cold coffee at Tampered Press across from the park. Meet your friends at the Farmers Market and pick up some fresh cheeses. Drop off the produce before going to the art gallery for your friends show. After getting lunch, head home and dress up for a night out. First, see a play at Lower Ossington Theatre, then get dinner and drinks at Bellwoods Brewery. Walk home through the park and enjoy a night cap with friends on your condo balcony.
In Summary: Trinity Bellwoods is a unique neighbourhood with an artistic community and spectacular greenspace.
