Corktown is one of the more affordable downtown Toronto neighbourhoods. It has recently become popular with young professionals, who find this location extremely convenient to Toronto's downtown business and entertainment districts.
New and more relaxed zoning bylaws in the Corktown district have resulted in the conversion of many of Corktown's commercial buildings into live-in work studios, condominium lofts and professional offices, all of which has helped to revitalize the neighbourhood. Corktown contains some of the oldest Victorian row-houses in Toronto, some of which date back to the 1850's and 1860's. These former workers' cottages can be found on the quaint narrow laneways that are discreetly tucked away off Corktown's main streets.
Corktown has also recently experienced a number of retrofit projects on its commercial and industrial buildings. Many of these buildings are currently being recycled as live/work studio lofts that incorporate all of today's modern conveniences. New condominiums and townhouses are other recent additions to this neighbourhood.
The intersection of Queen and Parliament is the center of the Corktownneighbourhood in terms of shops and restaurants. These tend to be smaller family run retail stores and diners. This has not deterred families and professionals from enjoying this shopping district which appears headed toward gentrification.
Corktown residents also enjoy the luxury of being located within walking distance of the St. Lawrence Market, Toronto's premiere food market. |
