The Kensington neighbourhood is defined by its popular outdoor market, which has become a hot spot for tourists and a popular Toronto shopping destination. The international flavour of Kensington Market reflects the diverse cultural mix of this vibrant Toronto neighbourhood.
Kensington's Victorian row-houses are small to moderate in size and feature many decorative accents. These houses were built between the 1870's and 1890's.
The houses in the heart of Kensington Market, have market stalls on their front lawns. Many of these houses are oriented to the rear of the property where tiny little laneways offer privacy from the hustle and bustle of the marketplace.
The Kensington neighbourhoodhas recently been revitalized by a handful of new housing projects. These new developments include Victorian inspired townhomes that are situated on Oxford Street and the Kensington Market Lofts, a unique condominium project situated in three former George Brown College buildings on Baldwin and Nassau Streets.
The Kensington Market is Toronto's only year-round outdoor market where merchants sell their goods right out on the sidewalks. If you have never experienced the sights and sounds of this old world market, it is certainly worth a visit.
The shopping on the periphery of the Kensington neighbourhood includes Chinatown on Spadina Avenue, Portugal Village on Dundas Street West, and the shops and restaurants along Queen Street West. |
