Roncesvalles is the area I call home and I have lived here for almost 20 years. My Dad actually grew up here, attended school at Fern Avenue PS, and my grandmother even went to Fern, so the area is near and dear to my heart. The neighbourhood was considered the Polish hub of Toronto for a long time, and there is still a definite Polish flavour along the strip, and the Polish Festival is celebrated here every September. However, with the gentrification that has taken place over the last couple of decades, the landscape of the street has changed and is now home to some fabulous shops, restaurants, pubs & coffee shops; but you can still find a great pierogi!Along with gentrification comes the inevitable real estate boom, so this area which was considered reasonable for a long time, now has some very pricey real estate, with the average price of a detached home sitting around $1.8M.Technically the 'Roncesvalles' area runs east of Roncesvalles to Lansdowne, south to Queen and north to Dundas. The area west of Roncesvalles to Parkside, although technically 'High Park', shares the same vibe and accessibility to amenities, so for this purpose we have included that area here as well.Here is a snapshot of what Roncesvalles has to offer, as well as our favourite places to indulge, play and shop! If you are not familiar with the Roncesvalles area, we hope you will make a trip over here, grab a coffee and wander the strip. If you have more questions about this fabulous Toronto neighbourhood, feel free to get in touch, we are always available for your questions!
