This eclectic area offers suburban amenities in an urban center of the city. Today, The Junction is considered the area north of Annette, south of St. Clair, and between Runnymede Road and the Canadian National Railway corridor to the east which intersects with the Canadian Pacific Railway corridor at West Toronto Diamond.

With some of the finest architecture in the city, the southside of The Junction area features winding tree-lined streets with Victorian houses on generous sized lots. You’ll see many decorative features such as roof top turrets, whimsical front porches and glamorous archways, and even some fine examples of Queen Anne and Arts and Crafts style houses. On the north end, properties are commonly on more narrow lots with small Victorian-style houses on them.
