Riverdale is a large and diverse community that is especially well known for its colourful shopping districts and quaint Victorian homes.
North Riverdale from Gerrard to the Danforth is very popular with young affluent professionals, while South Riverdale has traditionally attracted a wide mix of people looking for affordable homes close to downtown.
Riverdale's two and three storey Victorian houses were built largely between 1880 and 1924 and are shaded by some of the tallest maple trees in the city.
The houses in South Riverdale are on average smaller, older and less expensive than those in North Riverdale. Most of Riverdale's homes have parking off rear laneways, and permits are available for street parking.
Riverdale's best known shopping district is along Danforth Avenue, east of Broadview. The Danforth is the heart of Toronto's Greek community, featuring many first class Greek restaurants and a dazzling array of stores.
Riverdale also has a Chinatown shopping district centredaroundGerrard and Broadview. This stretch of stores is known for its bakeries, grocery stands, and restaurants.
Yet another shopping destination point for Riverdale residents is historic Queen Broadview Village, which includes some interesting antique and collectible stores. |
