Just east of Roncesvalles Avenue, wrapped around the northwest edge of Parkdale, the district of Roncesvalles (named by an early landowner, Colonel Walter O’Hara, for the pass in northern Spain where he fought against Napoleon) is a more prosperous version of its southern neighbour.
This is a place of pretty little avenues, busy with street life, where the quiet substantial semi-detached houses (many with sturdy stone verandas) that went up in the first few decades of the 20th century are now well maintained by families young and old. Like Roncesvalles Avenue, the district—which is referred to by some as Little Poland—has benefited from the late-’90s prosperity of Poland. Comparisons to the Bloor West Village of 20 years ago are also common. A fall 2006 RE/MAX study of Toronto neighbourhoods named this one of the city’s up-and-coming areas.
Traffic is low and access to the subway good (just walk, or take the streetcar on Roncesvales up to Dundas West station). You can also journey downtown on the southbound streetcar. And while High Park isn’t within this neighbourhood’s boundaries, it’s an easy walk from the district’s western edge.
