Welcome to The West Bend

The West Bend is an area of Toronto bounded by Keele Street on the west, Bloor Street on the south and the railway line on the east and north.

The neighbourhood is rich in heritage, character and interest. Whether you are considering people, trees or architecture, The West Bend is a study in diversity. The area is home to people who enjoy living in a unique, friendly yet decidedly urban environment. Quiet tree-lined streets, a mixture of housing, parks, and great schools combine with businesses and retail stores. Community spirit, pride and commitment are evidenced by many activities and meetings including; school events, the Railside Cooperative Garden of Native Species, Art open houses, street parties and more.

Residents enjoy both proximity to Downtown Toronto and easy access via major road arteries and a major transit hub, including Dundas West and Keele TTC stations and GO-Transit’s Bloor station. The Junction, Bloor West Village, Roncesvalles Village and High Park are easily reached on foot or by bicycle.

Let us introduce you to The Neighbourhood.
