Wallace Emerson Review

Wallace Emerson is an urban neighbourhood located in Toronto’s west end. Nestled next to The Junction (and considered by some to be part of the same neighbourhood), it is bound by CPR rail lines to the north and west, Bloor Street to the south, and Dufferin Street to the west. The neighbourhood is named after the intersection of Wallace and Emerson Streets, which lie within it. A mix of residential and commercial buildings, Wallace Emerson offers residents a mix of urban and industrial life. Side streets feature plenty of historic brick homes from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with both detached and semi-detached options. This makes Wallace Emerson a great spot for families and young professionals looking for more space than Toronto’s downtown core has to offer. Neighbourhood highlights include the West Toronto Railpath, a multi-use trail that many have compared to the High Line in New York City, Dufferin Mall, and the Bloordale Village Business Improvement Area, which hosts the Big on Bloor street festival each year. Whether you walk down to Bloor or head to the newly redeveloped Dufferin and Dupont area, you will find a myriad of shops, eateries, and businesses. Wallace Emerson Park is a wonderful place to spend an afternoon, containing multiple tennis courts and an ice rink. The Wallace Emerson Community Centre is also located here, and it offers a range of programs for children, adults, and seniors alike, featuring a swimming pool, gymnasium, a games room, and a children’s play area. Meanwhile, residents can also enjoy nearby Dovercourt Park, Campbell Park, Perth Square Park, and being in close proximity to High Park, the city’s second largest urban park. Less than 15 minutes by car from downtown Toronto, Wallace Emerson offers a slice of residential living with the conveniences that come with living in the city.
