Beautiful Properties in a Classic Toronto Neighbourhood
 
Annex MLS Listings When it comes to purchasing a home in Toronto, there are many excellent neighbourhoods to choose from.
 
While MLS listings can give people the basics, a realtor can personally walk their clients through the positives and negatives of each property and neighbourhood. MLS listings are a great starting point to give those in the market an idea of prices and types of homes that are available. However, it is highly recommended that you contact a real estate agency that consists of experienced Toronto agents who have grown to understand the unique market of the city and the GTA.
 
The Annex - Homes
 
The Annex is one of Toronto's most sought-after neighbourhoods. Buyers are drawn to the Annex on account of the Victorian and Edwardian style homes, the majority of which were built between the late 1880s and early 1900s. These properties are the perfect example of the unique, classic Toronto homes that were highly popular amongst the city's elite class in the early 1900s.
 
As it was the more prosperous citizens of Toronto who occupied the Annex in the past, the homes were built to be large and spacious. The majority of these properties were constructed with brick, and many feature stunning large rounded Romanesque arches with Queen Anne style decorative elements.
 
As the demographic of the neighbourhood slowly began to change, these properties have been preserved, but many have been subdivided into apartments and small unit dwellings. As such, homes in this area are an excellent choice for those who are looking to occupy tenants.
 
Entertainment
 
The Annex is considered to be a "bohemian” neighbourhood and great for pedestrians. The area has a wide range of choices when it comes to restaurants, clubs, cafes, bars, and shops. As such, many famous artists have called the Annex home. Margaret Atwood, David Suzuki, a member of the rock band Sloan and Adrian Clarkson have all resided in this part of the city.
 
Schools
 
The following schools are located in the Annex:
  • Huron Street Junior Public School
  • Palmerston Public School
  • Jesse Ketchum Junior and Senior Public School
  • Hawthorne II Bilingual Alternative Junior School
  • St. Joseph Morrow Park Catholic High School
  • Harbord Collegiate Institute
 
Transit
 
The accessibility of the TTC is one of the main reasons the Annex is an ideal neighbourhood for pedestrians. The area is served by the TTC Bloor/Danforth subway line through the St. George, Spadina and Bathurst subway stations, the Spadina streetcar line, the Bathurst streetcar line and the Dupont bus route.
 
Unique and gorgeous homes, entertainment locations, close proximity to schools and transit all join together to make the Annex one of Toronto's most desired places to live. By searching on MLS, people looking to buy a home can get an idea of the market, yet it is always recommended to have an experienced realtor guide you through the area's incredible properties.

The Annex: Links to Academia
The Annex is also home to the University of Toronto - the oldest post-secondary institution in the city. U of T's campus is to the south, with the lights of Varsity Stadium just to the south. Many fraternity and sorority houses line St. George Street, and faculty and students have called the neighbourhood home. The tree-lined streets are home to unique and popular places such as The Madison and the Brant House. The shopping along Bloor Street West from Avenue Road along to Bathurst Street is unique and ecclectic. Everything from the old-style movie cinema at Bloor Cinemas to piano bars, thrift shopping, rock club Lee's Palace. The movie "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" was shot mostly in The Annex - look for the Pizza Pizza on the corner of Bloor and Bathurst as a back drop in the movie as well as Lee's Palace itself!
