The Beaches is in many ways the "best" east end neighborhood, as there's nothing in really in the west end like it. It being a bit removed probably adds to the charm.
A lot of east end neighborhoods dare I say feel like a pale imitation of the west end, and there's more "gaps" in the urban flow of neighborhoods. Little Italy, Ossington Strip, Little Portugal, West Queen West and so on. There are some gaps in the northwest fringe of the west end though (around Dupont and Davenport say), more like the east end in some ways.
