City - Toronto

Serving up equal portions of charm and sophistication, Toronto’s tree-filled neighbourhoods give way to quaint shops and restaurants in historic buildings, some of the tallest skyscrapers in Canada, and a dazzling waterfront lined with yacht clubs and sandy beaches.

During the summer, residents enjoy cycling the Waterfront Bike Trail or spending lazy afternoons at Balmy Beach Park. Commuting in the city is a breeze, even on the coldest days of winter, thanks to Toronto’s system of underground walkways known as the PATH. The path covers more than 30 kilometers and leads to shops, restaurants, six subway stations, and a variety of attractions.

You’ll have a wide selection of beautiful neighbourhoods to choose from as you look for your Toronto rental. If you want a busy neighbourhood filled with condos and corner cafes, Liberty Village might be the ideal location.
