South Annex Neighbourhood & Real Estate Guide:
If you have been following our blog over the years, you will have noticed that we love Toronto’s Annex neighbourhood. The sister neighbourhood to the Annex is the South Annex, and the houses are a little more quaint and charming when you cross sough of Bloor. The century-old charm and leafy trees make this area a wonderful spot to walk through, let alone live in!
Living in South Annex is as close as Toronto gets to Boston and Cambridge’s storied areas, which houses some of the finest universities in the US. These ivy league neighbourhoods are known for history, leaders and inspiration. A stone’s throw from the UofT Campus sits some of downtown Toronto’s inspired streets – Toronto’s ivy league neighbourhood equivalent. Victorians, small and large, line the streets. One way streets usher cars away from some of the best the South Annex offers, streets like Robert Street, Major Street and Willcocks Street. The tree lines sidewalks are perfect for a stroll no matter the season…although the Fall is a favourite of most residents.

Why not start with dessert, right?! If you have ever passed this business on Harbord Street, you may not have realized that the Dessert House is actually not only one of Toronto’s best dessert shops, but this one ranks in Canada. They cater to some of the finest weddings in the Nation – not kidding! So why not start with some dessert today!
Piano Piano
If you have been a long-time resident in Toronto, you may recall the restaurant, Splendido. Long-held as one of the finest downtown restaurants. The Chef of Splendido took over the space and created Piano Piano – a great spot for artsy, Italian dining. Piano Piano is a nice relaxing reprieve from the bustle of our city.
Her Father’s Cider Bar + Kitchen
As you can imagine by this restaurant’s name, Her Father’s Cider has a huge selection of cider on tap, 100+ to choose from! Don’t worry, they are known for more than just their bubbly drinks, the food is great. Canadian fare that hits the spot. There is a backroom that offers a large dining space for friends and family to meet up. Her Father’s Cider has a great vibe that embraces the South Annex neighbourhood tone.
