East York living...? |
Travel Info I like a slow paced neighborhood that's very close to a large metropolitan area, so I am interested in moving to the East York area of Toronto. I'm looking at properties between O'Connor and Danforth, around Taylor Creek Park. I currently live in what appears to be a similar neighborhood of Vancouver -- with lots of senior citizens, Jews and Greeks. Is that also a fair assumption of what East York would be like? From what I've read and heard, it's a pretty peaceful place to live. Nothing fancy or hip like the Yonge/Eglinton area, but affordable and quiet. Can anybody back this up, or am I crazy? Travel Tips ast York is Canada鈥檚 only borough and is the smallest of the areas that make up the Greater Toronto Area. East York boasts numerous apartment complexes as well as many affordable houses and basement apartments for rent.Traditionally, East York has had a population of predominantly senior citizens. But that is all changing with an influx of new families that are taking advantage of East York鈥檚 affordable housing and it鈥檚 accessibility to downtown Toronto.Taylor Creek Park is a large park that runs through East York and is a cornerstone for the area. The park is a magnificent piece of land that stretches from Scarborough through East York and ends in North York. Throughout the park there is a nine kilometre paved trail that is ideal for anything from cycling to in-line skating and from walking to jogging. The parks real beauty is shown no better then in the autumn months when the thousands of trees are loose their leaves as they begin to change colour. East York's City Hall is located on Coxwell Ave. and is located in the heart of East York. East York Collegiate is the area鈥檚 largest high school and also has one of the most ethnically diverse student populations in the city.The largest shopping mall in the area is called the East York Town Centre and it is located just west of Don Mills Rd. on Overlea Blvd. This mall has many different stores and restaurants to fit everybody鈥檚 needs and also has a 24 hour Bowlerama. Others U got the real picture of east york,however not many Jews in this area i-e O Connor and Danforth mostly jews population is in west part of the city |
