The Vibe

Davenport and Corso Italia bridge old-world Italian Toronto with new-wave gentrification. Corso Italia on St. Clair is lined with espresso bars and soccer-watching crowds, while streets to the south mix Portuguese bakeries with craft cocktail bars. Dufferin Grove Park is one of the city's most community-active spaces. The area offers genuine neighbourhood character at prices slightly below the trendy core to the south.
