Neighbourhood guide  /  Midtown

Mount Pleasant

A working main street with solid brick houses on either side of it.

Mount Pleasant is both a road and the neighbourhood around it, running north from St Clair through to Eglinton. The commercial strip is genuinely useful rather than a destination — a butcher, a bakery, restaurants, a hardware store, the sort of retail that supports daily life. The housing on either side is largely detached and semi-detached brick from the twenties and thirties, well built and steadily renovated. It is quieter than Yonge a few blocks west and priced slightly below it, which has made it a common landing spot for families who want midtown but not the intersection.

Housing stock

Detached and semi-detached brick houses; apartments above the retail strip.

Who buys here

Families, professionals moving up from a condominium, and established local owners.

Transit

The Mount Pleasant bus to Eglinton and St Clair stations; the Eglinton Crosstown to the north.

Worth checking

Houses close to the strip can carry back-lane traffic and parking pressure. Walk the block on a weekday evening.
