Scenic Views of Queer West Village Toronto « Read Less
Toronto's - Queer West Village is more of an attitude than an identity; new and radical, and has a thriving underground queer scene. The fact that Toronto's west end is less aggressively, overtly gay is a drawing point for many queers. The bars and clubs are to a degree randomly spread along, Bloor St., College St., Queen Street West and Spadina none with a 'gay' bar label. Toronto's queer west end, is not so much a part of the city, as a collection of small villages. This first gallery of many, is a sightseeing tour around the village area.
Sorauren Avenue in Parkdale Village
View looking south on Sorauren Avenue at Sorauren-Wabash Park.
This wonderful area is very popular with buyers, especially young gay and lesbian professionals, who are looking for an interesting, people-friendly neighbourhood with an easy access to downtown. What was once mainly ethnic shopping district on nearby Roncesvalles Avenue, in the High Park neighbourhood, recently became gentrified, and offers a whole array of boutiques, cafés, restaurants, bakeries and gift shops. Many area homes underwent classy renovations within the last few years.
