Appartements, Condos et Maisons à louer à Dufferin Grove Toronto

For young couples and young-ish families, Dufferin Grove is a cool and arguably trendy neighbourhood. It's armed with an impressive cultural diversity, good schools, eclectic shops, independent bakeries and cafes and awesome restaurants, the homes are well-kept and very attractive, but aren't paired with high rents and the incomes of families here are pretty much average. Community gardens are big, as is organic produce and fabulous coffee. For commuters, Dufferin Grove is about 15 minutes from downtown when traffic isn't too terrible and takers of transit have the option of using Dufferin and Ossington Stations on the Bloor-Danforth subway line, a few buses and the streetcars to get into the city from home.

The nightlife in the neighbourhood is pretty great and rather varied, and the people who file into these haunts are a unique and diverse mix of stylish and often down-to-earth folks. Live music is a big deal and the large Portuguese population means soccer games can kick up some rowdy gatherings in the streets.

Dufferin Grove Park is one of the most unique in the city because of the services it offers to residents of the community. Of note, the community oven, the community garden, a campfire and its music programs. There's a farmer's market during the summer that sells mostly organic produce, much of which is grown right in the neighbourhood, located across from Dufferin Mall, the biggest shopping centre in the community. The nightlife is concentrated along Bloor – check out Disgraceland or Drift Bar – and on Dundas, plus a few more along College, especially the Caledonian.
