When you’re considering moving to a new home in Toronto, lifestyle and budget are the two major deciding factors about where you buy or rent. Young working people most often want to be close to work, while also walkable to restaurants, entertainment, and night life.
Whether renting or buying, condos are a great way to live in your ideal neighbourhood, while also offering a turn-key lifestyle and exciting amenities!
If you want to be able to get to and from work fast, AND enjoy an active local restaurant and bar scene in Toronto’s best locations, consider a home in one of these Toronto Neighbourhoods Perfect For Young Professionals…
Liberty Village
This neighbourhood is very popular with singles and young professionals. Formerly an industrial area just north of Fort York, this community has evolved into a very walkable place to live, with restaurants, brew pubs, and patios steps from condo buildings. It also has close proximity to more stores and entertainment in King West.
King West
Known for live theatre and music venues, King West is ideal for culture enthusiasts who also like to go out for dinner and drinks. The TIFF Bell Lightbox hosts movie premieres on an international stage, and there is definitely no shortage of bars and restaurants steps from home. King West condos also have plenty of amazing amenities, perfect for a work/play lifestyle.
The Core
If you envision that lively downtown lifestyle, The Core could be exactly what you’re looking for. Shop at the Eaton Centre, see concerts at Massey Hall, and meet friends at your favourite downtown bar. The TTC is always close by, and there’s always something happening- no matter what time it is!

Leslieville
Located in Toronto’s east end, this neighbourhood offers a great blend of a “family friendly” feel, along with an active bar and restaurant scene.

The 501 Streetcar also connects residents to downtown and to The Beach!
Church Village
This downtown neighbourhood is most sought after by LGBTQ residents, with its vibrant and welcoming community feel. It is also popular with many young professionals who love being able to walk home after a fun night out at a local bar or club. You’re also very close to the downtown core of the city, so its easy getting to work or more entertainment from condos in The Village.
Queen West
One of the areas in Toronto with the most personality, Queen West condos are a longtime favourite of young people. The Queen West patios are a city-wide destination for lunch dates, while the variety of shopping is noting to overlook either. Shop at quirky clothing stores, see a jazz show, or have a picnic in Trinity Bellwoods Park!
The Annex
Less posh than nearby Yorkville, real estate in The Annex has a somehow relaxed yet lively energy. With pubs and patios, cafes and diverse restaurants, The Annex along Bloor St West is a great place to live. Visit the Bata Shoe Museum, see a film at Hot Docs, or meet friends at an indie rock concert at Lee’s Palace!
