There are never enough hours in the day, which is why having quick and easy access to amenities is so appreciated. When you can pop out quickly to pick up your necessities or wander out on a whim for a spontaneous meal or drinks out, life is carefree and more enjoyable. That’s why location matters so much.
Can you imagine being able to walk to do your errands? You have your choice of grocers within walking distance, including Loblaws, Metro and George’s Independent City Market. Also within walking distance are Shopper’s, Rexall and the LCBO. You can pick up a special dessert or fresh bread at Bobbette & Bell Artisanal Pastries You’ll be done errands in no time.
Taking the night off from cooking? You’ve got tons of great options to eat out (or takeout) within walking distance. Savour classic Italian fare on the patio at Parmigiano Trattoria. Roadhouse style-food is available at Gabby’s. Try Southern style BBQ at Stack. Grab great coffee at Aroma Espresso Bar. Looking for something fun and different when we can linger and laugh in bars and restaurants? How about drinks and board games at For the Win Café and Bar? Stop by the Uptown Pub for a pint.
Another must-have for urbanites is easy access to public transit. Buses flow regularly on Yonge and on Lawrence Ave.
