Neighbourhood guide  /  Downtown & Central

Church-Wellesley Village

The Village: mid-rise apartments, Victorian houses and a strong street life.

The Village centres on Church Street between Carlton and Bloor, and it has been the heart of Toronto’s LGBTQ community for decades — a neighbourhood with a genuine civic identity, its own institutions and a street life that operates year-round rather than seasonally. Housing is mixed: apartment towers from the sixties and seventies, newer condominium construction, and Victorian houses on the side streets running east, many divided into flats. It is central, extremely well served by transit, and priced below Yorkville immediately to the north. The street can be busy, particularly during summer events.

Housing stock

Apartment and condominium towers, newer mid-rise, Victorian houses and conversions on the side streets.

Who buys here

Transit

Worth checking

Building age varies widely within a block. Compare fees and reserve funds carefully.
