Take a walk through this distinguished neighbourhood, and you’ll see many different properties, including Colonial and Georgian revival-style homes, townhouses along Duplex Avenue, newer condos on Yonge Street and Art Deco-style low-rise rentals on Eglinton Avenue West. Today, there are over 6,500 homes in the community which comprises a fairly even split of homeowners and renters: 52% vs 48%.
