Nature is nice, and great to visit from time to time, but if you want to live in the centre of the centre of the universe, then may want to explore these Toronto options. Here you will find high-density living at its best. A pulsating, high-energy environment on the ground, with a retreat in the sky. These areas are often condo heavy from high rises with amazing views to boutique conversion projects.

These neighbourhoods score high on transit, and walkability. You could easily function without a car if you work downtown. You would rarely need to drive anywhere. Entertainment, sports events, festivals and some of the best restaurants in town are at your convenience.
