High Park
Full Screen
As its name suggests, the neighbourhood of High Park is defined by its proximity to the park itself, the cityβs largest green space. It is a community rich with history. The area north of Bloor was formerly part of the Town of West Toronto Junction, until its annexation by the City of Toronto in 1909.Β The land south of Bloor was purchased by John Howard in 1808, one of the cityβs first architects. Howard called his massive estate βHigh Parkβ because of its commanding views of Lake Ontario. He conveyed the property to the City of Toronto and requested that the land remain a park for all Torontonians to enjoy. His original home is now Colborne Lodge Museum.
High Parkβs winding tree-lined streets feature some of Torontoβs finest residential homes. The stately Edwardian, Tudor and Victorian dwellings, with their distinctive brick exteriors, were built in the late 1890s and early 1900s and are highlighted by fine period details, elegant principal rooms and fireplaces.Β There are also many condo buildings, offered at both entry-level and luxury prices, in the High Park neighbourhood.
High Park is conveniently located within walking distance of Bloor West Village, one of the cityβs most popular shopping districts, with its cafΓ©s, shops, restaurants, fruit & vegetable markets and flower shops. High Parkβs other major shopping venue is Junction Gardens, along Dundas Street West. The recently revitalized area has become a trendy hub for artistβs galleries, antique stores, bakeries, organic grocers and chic shops.
The Park itself offers almost 400 acres of public parkland. This includes access to a fishing pond, outdoor theatre, restaurant, museum, zoo, educational facilities, baseball diamonds, off-leash dog walking areas, formal & informal gardens, picnic grounds, playgrounds, large outdoor pool, skating rink, cross-country ski trails, tennis courts, lawn bowling, soccer, and walking/jogging/cycling trails found throughout the park.

The Junction
Full Screen
The West Toronto neighbourhood of The Junction is named for the north/south and east/west railway lines that intersect in the area of Keele Street and Dundas Street West. Initially, the railway lines made The Junction the central hub of the West Toronto area, until the arrival of the subway system in the 1960s gradually shifted the areaβs focal point to Bloor Street. It is the oldest of the West Toronto neighbourhoods, and its narrow tree-lined streets boast many stately Victorian and Edwardian homes, some of which have been converted to two and three-unit dwellings. Recently the area has seen the construction of a number of new condo buildings as well.
The north part of The Junction was home to the Ontario Stockyards, for many years the largest livestock market in Canada, the center of Ontarioβs meat-packing industry and part of the reason for Torontoβs nickname: βHogtownβ. Since the closure of most of the stockyards and meat-packing plants in the early 1990s, the area has undergone dramatic re-development.Β This has contributed to the recent gentrification and revitalization of The Junction neighbourhood, now offering its residents a trendy and thriving community of antique stores, art galleries, organic grocers, cafΓ©s and shops. The installation of period-style lighting and signage, and the very popular Junction Arts Festival, has helped to make this a very desirable neighbourhood for young families and singles alike.
Hop on one of the many neighbourhood buses and make your way to the subway station and then to downtown Toronto in just 15-20 minutes. Travel by car to either downtown Toronto or the airport is easily accessed via Lakeshore Blvd., from the foot of Keele Street/Parkside Drive.

Toronto, ON M5E 1W7
June 25, 2020
This letter will confirm that the property located at 178 Brookside Avenue in Toronto qualifies for aΒ laneway house build in the rear portion of the lot, under Torontoβs new βChanging Lanesβ program.Β I visited the property on June 24, 2020 and confirmed siting, fire access and other appropriateΒ qualifications to confirm its eligibility.
While the exact maximum size of a permitted build cannot be determined without an accurate propertyΒ survey, itβs safe to say the range would likely be 1475 to 1575 square feet (over two floors), with the ability toΒ include an optional car garage on the lower floor, with vehicle entry off the laneway.Β A basement is also possible, but in most cases the floor plate of the basement will be significantly smaller
than the ground floor and upper floors, the space cannot contain bedrooms or a bathroom or a kitchen, andΒ the cost of construction will be significant.
The relatively new (2018) Changing Lanes program from the City of Toronto allows qualifying propertyΒ owners to construct a laneway house βas of rightβ on their property, with simple building permit applicationΒ and no political approval or committee of adjustment approval required. No variances are required and noΒ appeals or βneighbour vetoesβ are permitted. The city also waives development cost charges.
Should you have any questions about 178 Brookside Avenue in particular, or the Changing Lanes programΒ in general, please feel free to contact me any time, or visit our website.

It is best known for its very popular shopping district, with its cafΓ©s, shops, restaurants, fruit & vegetable markets and flower shops.

Neighbourhood streets in Bloor West Village are tree-lined and populated by young families, seniors and singles, making it a diverse and engaging community.
The homes in the Bloor West Village neighbourhood were built mostly in the first half of the 20th century, between the wars. They display Arts & Crafts architecture and rich period details, such as leaded and stained glass windows, oak and gumwood trim – with high baseboards and backbend casings, and ornate French doors with beveled glass. The typical Bloor West Village homes are two-storey detached or semi-detached with 3 or 4 bedrooms and laneway parking or mutual driveways. Private driveways are rare and highly coveted, making the easy access to public transit a great option for many residents.
Hop on the subway at either of the two subway stops in Bloor West Village and make your way downtown in just 15-20 minutes. Travel by car to either downtown Toronto or the airport is easily accessed by the Gardiner Expressway, from the foot of South Kingsway.
