Appartements, Condos et Maisons à louer à Riverdale Toronto

Eclectic, funky, earthy and urban, with super cute homes and independent shops, Torontonians old and young can't resist the charm of Riverdale. Alongside Cabbagetown and Leslieville, it's one of the most desirable neighbourhoods in the city, especially for young, trendy couples with or without kids. Leslieville may be "Hipsterville East," but Riverdale really deserves the same moniker. With the Danforth as its northern border, awesome parks, independent shops and boutiques all around, and its own list of neighbourhoods-within-a-neighbourhood (see below), Riverdale has been making a name for itself as one of the coolest spots to live in the city. It's one of Toronto's biggest neighbourhoods, located east of the Don River and just a few blocks north of Lake Ontario.

Riverdale Rental Market: Renters looking to live in Riverdale will find a pretty inconsistent market. For one thing, Riverdale houses for rent vary in types and rental rates can swing pretty far between one area and the next. The other thing is recently, smaller rental units in Riverdale are, on average, a little cheaper than what you'll find in other nearby neighbourhoods while larger spaces with two or more bedrooms are disproportionately expensive, likely because as you get into those bigger places, you're looking at a house, more often than not, rather than an apartment.

In Riverdale, moustaches are expertly groomed and pompadours roam the streets alongside bowling shoes and Betty Boop lipstick. Trendy? Check. Diverse? Check. Granola-y? Check. You've got your community gardens, your friendly neighbourhood organic patisserie and cafe, and your local film production studio, all in Riverdale. It's a really huge neighbourhood – one of the biggest in Toronto – and has smaller communities within it, each one sporting its own style, its own virtues and its own values. That said, strolling the streets, perusing farmer's markets and playing hooky for a lazy afternoon in Withrow Park are all among favourite pastimes for the mixed crowd that lives in Riverdale.

There are three main parks within Riverdale, the biggest being Riverdale Park, which caresses the Don River to the west end of the community. There's also Withrow Park and Jimmie Simpson Park. All three have tennis parks, big lawns that are perfect for picnics, baseball diamonds, hockey rinks and wading pools for kids. For shopping, eating out and being seen, in general, the Danforth is where it's at. The Danforth and Greektown are a mecca of awesome food, super cool lounges, live music, entertainment, nightclubs, Greek bakeries, delis and any number of independent shops and services you could desire. For lovers of all things vintage, the shopping area in the Riverside community has tons of antique shops for furnishing a house.
