Welcome to the Neighbourhood.
Mid-town living has its charms. Lots of them. The Davisville finds itself between Uptown Toronto at the intersection of Yonge and Eglinton and the downtown glories of Yonge and Bloor.
It’s Easy Finding Green.
Isn’t it lovely to be surrounded by green space? Well, yes it is. One of the biggest and most interesting green spaces near Davisville Village is the historic Mt. Pleasant Cemetery. Here, in Toronto’s oldest and largest cemetery, you’ll find joggers and stroller-pushers galore as Toronto loves its leafy, tree-lined serenity.
Head for The Belt Line, a nine km. walking, hiking and running trail on the former site of the Old Belt Line Railway. You can access it at many points along its span — including through the Mt. Pleasant cemetery. In summer, shop at the Farmers’ Market at June Rowlands Park on Davisville Avenue. Named after one of Toronto’s most beloved mayors, the park also holds lively softball games, a playground and a wading pool for the little ones.
Neighbours.
Yonge and Eglinton
Just north of Davisville Village, Yonge and Eglinton beckons with an inviting range of cafes, restaurants, a revitalized shopping centre, cinemas, and, coming soon, The Eglinton Crosstown. You’ll be able to use this new transit hub as a quick way to travel to destinations east and west.
Yonge And St. Clair
Yonge and St. Clair, to the south of The Davisville on Yonge St., is also in the midst of exciting change. The recently rebuilt Badminton & Racquet Club attracts the tennis set, while Italian and seafood restos beckon.
Summerhill
Clustered conveniently around Toronto’s finest LCBO – a magnificent 150-year-old former train station – there’s Pisces Gourmet Seafood for fresh fish, Oliffe Butcher Shop for grass-fed cuts of meat, and Harvest Wagon, a gourmet grocery store. Nadège French bakery, Terroni and Bar Centrale also grace Summerhill.
Yonge And Bloor
Continue farther and you’ll arrive at the centre of Toronto, where the Mink Mile dazzles. Featuring designers like Gucci and jewellers including Royal De Versailles, Cartier and Birks, this section of Bloor Street offers more luxury vehicle sightings per block than any other in the city. Tucked in north of Bloor is fabulous Yorkville, home of designer glam and ultrachic sidewalk cafes and bars.

Going Places.
TTC access is at its best in the heart of Davisville Village. Davisville station is right at Yonge & Davisville. If you’re driving, travel along Eglinton Ave East to access the DVP and head downtown or out of the city to cottage country. Head west on Eglinton Ave. to catch the Allen Expressway to the 401.
Davisville Village is bike friendly, too. For off-trail riding just go down Mt. Pleasant and across Moore. There, you’ll find some of the city’s favourite trails for brave off-roaders.
