Bloor West Village and Baby Point real estate

Bloor West VillageA relatively small neighbourhood, prime Bloor West Village is located between Bloor Street in the south, Runnymede in the east, Annette in the north and Jane in the west. That leaves out a small area west of Jane to Humber River, which includes exclusive Baby Point. For convenience, I include in these statistics the area west of Jane and south (and including) Baby Point.

Baby Point homeBloor West Village is a family-oriented neighbourhood with good schools and easy access to public transportation and shopping. Majority of homes of Bloor West Village are similar in size and design, two-storey detached brisk dwellings with front porches, fireplaces, oak floors and trim. They were build between 1912 and 1923. Many of the original homes were updated and renovated. Beautiful oak and maple trees shade the streets.

Baby Point real estateBloor Street is always busy with people walking, shopping and dining is excellent here, with many boutique stores and delis, fruit and vegetable markets, cafes and restaurants. Even from the most western part of this district it is not too long a walk to High Park. Subway line runs on Bloor with Jane and Runnymede stations serving the neighbourhood. Busses run on Jane, Annette and Runnymede.

A small and exclusive neighbourhood, Baby Point consists of just a couple of streets. Tall trees shade elegant residences and a good number of properties back to the Humber River. The neighbourhood features an easy access to the Humber River trail system, and has its own Baby Point Club with tennis courts, lawn bowling and community events. Five fine homes were sold in Baby Point. The most expensive was a Tudor residence sitting on a magnificent 75 by 284 feet ravine lot, overlooking Humber River.
