Neighbourhood guide  /  East End

The Danforth / Greektown

Restaurants along the Danforth, subway underneath, and solid brick houses to the north and south.

Greektown runs along Danforth Avenue roughly from Broadview to Pape, and it remains one of the most recognisable commercial strips in the city — restaurants with patios that fill from spring through autumn, and the annual street festival that closes the road. The subway runs directly beneath, which is the practical advantage that underpins the whole neighbourhood. Housing on either side is solid brick semis and detached houses, generally well maintained, with the streets immediately north and south commanding a premium for being walkable to the strip without being on it.

Housing stock

Brick semi-detached and detached houses; apartments above the Danforth retail; some newer mid-rise.

Who buys here

Families, professionals, and long-established Greek and Italian households.

Transit

Broadview, Chester, Pape and Donlands stations on the Bloor line.

Worth checking

Restaurant extraction and late-evening noise reach the first streets off the strip. Visit on a summer evening.
