Cabbagetown lifestyle
Plenty of creatives live in Cabbagetown, one of the city’s most popular neighbourhoods. Your neighbours may be authors, painters, broadcast network employees, publishing professionals, as well as academics. There is a range of interesting residents that add to the unique and distinct character of Cabbagetown.
With several acres of abundant greenspace in the neighbourhood, as well as the Don River flowing on the east side, Cabbagetown is perfect for residents who prefer the nature of the outdoors. The neighbourhood is also cut by major avenues that serve as retail centres, and it’s steps from some of Toronto’s most popular neighbourhoods including Riverdale, Corktown, Distillery District, and Downtown. Any imaginable amenity is a short walk from most homes.
Buyers looking for homes in Cabbagetown will appreciate the small town feel as the neighbourhood feels insulated from the hustle and bustle that surrounds it. This makes Cabbagetown great for families, older couples, and retirees looking for a slower pace of life without missing out on big city conveniences.
Cabbagetown is a great community; it’s close-knit and has been able to maintain its small-town feel despite its ever-growing popularity.
A highly walkable neighbourhood, you’ll find grocery stores, butchers, restaurants, pharmacies, etc. all on the same block. Getting around Cabbagetown is highly efficient, as the neighbourhood provides direct access to the Don Valley Parkway and several TTC routes. There are many interesting homes in the area and exciting real estate opportunities. Still a charming neighbourhood despite its central location, Cabbagetown has more character than some of the other, newer Toronto communities in the area.
Homes in Cabbagetown
Known for its large collection of Victorian houses, most Cabbagetown homes were built between 1860 and 1895. Many of these properties have been restored. The Cabbagetown Preservation Association (of which members are neighbourhood residents) plays a vital role in ensuring that all Cabbagetown renovations and new developments keep the architecture and character of the historic neighbourhood intact.
