The Annex Real Estate

The Toronto neighbourhood of the Annex has undergone quite a few changes since its formation in 1887, when it was merely vacant farmland annexed by the city. Turned into a suburb in which Bloor Street was the main residential area, the Annex has become one of Toronto's most prominent neighbourhoods. Annex real estate is conveniently located within close proximity to all the best Toronto has to offer, easily accessed by foot , bicycle or by the Bloor and Spadina subway line of the TTC. In fact, many residents find cars uneccessary!

Properties designated as part of the Annex real estate market are bound within Harbord Street to the south , Davenport Road to the north, Avenue Road to the east and Bathurst Street to the west. The architectural designs of the houses in the area are a good mix of Richardsonian Romanesque and Victorian for homes constructed in the late 1800s to early 1900s, while Tudor and English Cottage styles dominate homes constructed up to the 1930s. With the grounds of the University of Toronto in its southeastern section, the Royal Ontario Museum, shopping and some of the best restaurants and bars in Toronto on Bloor Street, the Annex real estate market is hot!

If you enjoy the vibrancy and convenience of city living, but yearn for the tranquility of tree lined streets and neighbourhood parks, choose Annex real estate.
