A quiet residential pocket north of Bloor with large lots and mature trees.
Written by Nick Ntoukas, Toronto realtor · Chestnut Park Real Estate · Updated August 2026
Princess Gardens sits north of Bloor between Islington and Kipling, a quiet residential neighbourhood of postwar and interwar houses on notably generous lots. It has little commercial activity within it, mature tree cover throughout, and a settled family character. Islington and Kipling stations are both within reach, and the 427 and Gardiner are close for drivers. It has drawn steady interest from buyers who want Kingsway-scale lots at a lower price point, and the renovation and rebuild cycle is visible across the neighbourhood.
Interwar and postwar detached houses on large lots; a growing number of rebuilds.
Families, buyers seeking lot size, and long-established households.
Islington and Kipling stations on the Bloor line; the 37 Islington bus.
Rebuild activity is ongoing. Check what is approved on neighbouring lots.
