Neighbourhood guide  /  Midtown

Yonge-Eglinton

The midtown hub — towers at the intersection, houses on the streets behind.

Yonge and Eglinton is the commercial centre of midtown and has changed more than any other part of it over the past two decades. The intersection itself is dense: office towers, a shopping centre, cinemas and a run of condominium buildings that keeps growing. Walk two or three streets in any direction and it becomes residential very quickly — brick semis and detached houses on ordinary lots, many renovated. That contrast is the neighbourhood’s defining feature and the thing to test for yourself: an apartment at the corner and a house on Roselawn are different propositions entirely. The Eglinton Crosstown has been the dominant fact of life here for years, and its completion changes the transit calculation considerably.
