Niagara Review

When most people hear Niagara, they think of Niagara Falls or Niagara-on-the-Lake, but the reality is that the City of Toronto has its own Niagara, a residential meets industrial neighbourhood nestled along the lakeshore. Named after Niagara Street, which runs through the area, this Toronto is bound by Queen Street West to the north, Bathurst Street to the east, Ossington Avenue to the west, and the rail corridor to the south. In other words, it is located less than 10 minutes west of downtown Toronto, sandwiched between the Fashion District, Fort York, and Liberty Village. Nearby attractions include Ontario Place, the Canadian National Exhibition, BMO Field, home of the Toronto FC and Toronto Argos, Lake Ontario and its main waterfront beaches and parks, Fort York National Historic Site, Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament, and Stackt Market. In other words, there is tons to do and see in Niagara. Plus, the area encompasses King West Village, which means it is home to some of the hippest bars, restaurants, indie stores, antique shops, gourmet groceries, and cafes in all of Toronto. In terms of green space, there is plenty of it in Niagara. Towards the lakeshore, you will find Coronation Park and Marilyn Bell Park. Working your way north, you will pass Garrison Common and Stanley Park. Finally, though technically just outside of Niagara’s borders, locals have easy access to Trinity Bellwoods Park, which boasts tennis courts, volleyball courts, a baseball diamond, a dog park, a children’s playground, a wading pool, and tons of picnic areas. Transportation to and from Niagara is top-tier, with multiple TTC bus and streetcar stops, not to mention access to GO Transit via the Exhibition GO Station. Housing in the area is mixed, featuring a mix of nineteenth century row houses and brand-new luxury condos, which means there is something for everyone.
