Midtown's balanced blend of urban and residential
South Eglinton-Davisville occupies one of the most desirable midtown positions in Toronto, stretching between Eglinton Avenue and Davisville Avenue along the Yonge Street corridor. The neighbourhood offers a textbook example of Toronto's midtown lifestyle: tree-lined residential streets of handsome brick houses a few steps from a bustling urban avenue packed with restaurants, shops, and transit. Davisville Village, at the southern end, has a quieter, more residential character, while the Yonge-Eglinton intersection is a genuine urban centre. The residential housing is a satisfying mix of Edwardian and inter-war homes on the side streets, with condominium towers concentrated along Yonge. June Rowlands Park and Davisville Park provide neighbourhood-scale green spaces with playgrounds and tennis courts. The neighbourhood benefits from two subway stations, Eglinton and Davisville, and the incoming Eglinton Crosstown LRT will add further connectivity. For midtown living that balances calm residential blocks with genuine urban energy, it is hard to beat.
