Appartements, Condos et Maisons à louer à Roncesvalles Village Toronto

Roncesvalles Village, more commonly known as Roncy, is a little slice of the Old World in Toronto. Home to the Roncesvalles Polish Festival, Roncesvalles Avenue was the main hub of Toronto’s Polish community. As development in neighbouring Parkdale, the Junction, and High Park neighbourhoods skyrockets, the neighbourhood’s demographics are changing, and you are just as likely to encounter a vintage shop, your favourite new brunch hangout, or a record store as you are a delicious pierogi. Bordered by the West Toronto Railpath, the intersection of Queen, King, and Roncesvalles to the South, and Bloor Street to the North, Roncy has a small town feel with downtown character. Most of the neighbourhood lives in charming Victorian low-rise apartments and converted houses, however, with a major redevelopment planned for the space currently housing the LCBO and local big-box grocer, high-density condos are en route to Roncy.
