West is the best

Large homes on dense leafy streets surround the largest and most interesting green space in the city. High Park stretches right down to Sunnyside Beach on Lake Ontario, and even includes a zoo that has bison and llamas. The Bloor West Village strip is the spine that links historically proud communities such as High Park, Swansea and Runnymede. It is dotted with all the accoutrements of the modern urban village (gourmet food shops, bakeries, book shops, clothiers) and turn-of-the-century architecture.
