Trinity Bellwoods is generally described as the area directly surrounding Trinity Bellwoods Park. Bordered by Dovercourt to the west and Bathurst to the east, the neighbourhood starts at Queen and moves up to College Street. The gem of Trinity Bellwoods is, as you might have guessed, the park that sits in the middle of the neighbourhood. The park, the focal point of the neighbourhood, is packed on weekends – everyone from pooch-lovers to frisbee-throwing day drinkers clamor to this hot-spot to soak up the sun and partake in some of the best people-watching Toronto has to offer.
The neighbourhood boasts a youthful-yet-sophisticated vibe, which makes it perfect for creative professionals. Young families looking for both urban living and a strong sense of community are equally suited to living in the area.
An ever-revolving door to the best the city has to offer: Culinary gems, green space, arts scene, retail, even your own microbrewery. All within what Walk Score calls Toronto’s 9th most walkable neighbourhood. Local artists frequent the “Dog Bowl” in the middle of the day with their pooches.
Living in Trinity Bellwoods means having many of the city’s hippest eateries and trendiest boutiques right at your doorstep. Spanning 14.6 acres, Trinity Bellwoods Park is home to eight tennis courts, three baseball diamonds, an off-leash dog area, a kids wading pool, and plenty of green space.
The dominating Victorian architecture in the neighbourhood is quintessentially Toronto, and provides an aesthetically pleasing backdrop for a stroll or cycle through the residential side streets. Once home to creatives, the artistic vibe has stuck with Bellwoods along the West Queen West and Dundas West strip – loft conversions, quirky townhomes and architecturally distinct developments make up the majority of residential dwellings.
