TORONTO | Cabbagetown
Toronto Tours:
Too much Toronto • Major League Skyscrapers The Annex • Chinatown • Cabbagetown C A B B A G E T O W N • T O R O N T O Cabbagetown is known for its relatively intact Victorian streetscapes, beautiful gardens, and narrow irregular streets. The original Cabbagetown was demolished and replaced with the vast Regent Park apartment complex. Once known as Don Vale, the Victorian neighbourhood to the north of Regent Park underwent gentrification and became known as "Cabbagetown." Unfortunately for this tour I missed the gardens by a few weeks, but at least the lack of foliage allows us to see the houses better. http://aas.ath.cx/threads/cabbagetown.jpg |
lovely shots....
...I haven't seen that type of streetcar, in the first photo, down in the states
|
well done!
Now this is gold! Some of the homes remind me of the homes in NE Los Angeles (Highland Park-ish), only smaller
this shot reminds me of one I took in Pasadena, CA http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...town/00179.jpg vs. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3185/...353c43fe_b.jpg Can we expect anymore Toronto threads from you? Are you ever going to do NYC? |
Wow !! I certainly would think living there if I would have to move to Toronto. I love those narrow alleys and dead end streets. Unfortunately, it must be awfully expensive living there.
|
^ It cant be too expensive..isn't the city 50% Chinese, Indian, Jamaican, etc etc?
|
^^There's nothing under a half million in Cabbagetown. It's very close to downtown Toronto and one of the most sought after neighbourhoods in the city. I would guess the average townhouse is about $700,000.
I have more Toronto pics, it's only 45 minutes from me so I go there regularly (just not always for photography). Sometime I'll post a bunch of good variety shots from my trips there over the last year or so. |
^oops,I thought the op was referring to the city as a whole.
Where do the immigrants live? |

Toronto wouldn't have the largest condo market in North America (by unit) were all immigrants poor as the poster is suggesting.

Great pics! Very nice looking area, neat contrast with the massive concrete apartment towers looming nearby. :tup:
|
I love seeing photos of Cabbagetown. For me it's one of my favorite areas of Toronto.
|
I love that neighborhood. Great tour.
|
Nice looking hood!
|
you can tell from these photos that toronto was smaller than montreal in, say, 1915. that said, now that it's larger, having such neighbourhoods in the centre of the city gives it a real laid-back sort of charm.
|
This thread is red brick heaven! Especially love the second empire victorians! Great shots as always my friend!
