Artsy character with Victorian and Edwardian style homes combined with mature tree-lined streets and easy access to downtown make Riverdale a highly sought after neighbourhood. To the north of this area is Danforth Ave famous for Taste of the Danforth and home to many delicious Greek eateries. To the south, also known as Riverside District, Queen St East is lined with bistros, coffee shops and peppered with independent art galleries. There are 3 major parks in Riverdale and according to the City of Toronto, they will be preserved as green space for many years to come.
