Converted warehouses and newer mid-rises, with the restaurant strip at street level.
King West is the stretch of King Street running from roughly Spadina to Bathurst and beyond, and it has become the reference point for a certain kind of downtown living. The building stock is unusually mixed for a downtown neighbourhood: genuine hard lofts in converted industrial buildings, softer loft conversions, and a run of well-built mid-rise condominiums from the last two decades. That mix means real variety in what you can buy — a two-storey brick-and-beam unit with fourteen-foot ceilings and a glass tower suite are both King West. The restaurants along the strip are a genuine amenity and a genuine source of noise, depending on your floor and exposure.
Hard and soft loft conversions, mid-rise condominiums, a small number of townhouses on the side streets.
Professionals in their thirties and forties, couples, and downsizers trading a house for space and location.
The 504 King streetcar, one of the busiest surface routes in the city; Bathurst and St Andrew stations within reach.
Hard lofts are wonderful and idiosyncratic — check the heating, the windows and the condominium reserve fund carefully.
