Nestled north of Mount Pleasant Cemetery, this lively, densely populated neighbourhood is an ideal destination for new families and young couples seeking to establish roots in prestigious midtown Toronto. Featuring a mix of residential and commercial properties, many dating back to the neighbourhood inception in the 1920s, Davisville presents a wide array of homes and pricing options.
Predominantly English Cottage and Edwardian in style, Davisville’s moderate-sized homes are reflective of the time they were built. Set up on narrow lots, the homes give homeowners the opportunity to grow gardens and bring their own personal touch. Complementing these homes are a handful of commercial establishments and low- and high-rise apartment and condo buildings, making for a vibrant community with an upbeat feel.
Davisville offers amenities and attractions for children and adults alike. June Rowlands Park is a favourite for kids, with its splash pad and playground, and even farm-fresh produce at its summer farmer’s market. Maurice Cody Junior Public School, situated between Bayview and Mount Pleasant, offers a grassy schoolyard and a woodland garden. For adults, bistros, bars, coffee shops, and trendy boutique shops abound. When winter begins to set in, residents flock to the Hodgson public rink, which opens for community skating. Year round, families can enjoy catching a film in Davisville’s two historic independent movie theatres, The Mount Pleasant Theatre and The Regent Theatre. Another historical landmark, the Starbucks on the northeast corner of Yonge Street and Davisville Avenue was once the original post office, dating back to 1840.
