Midtown is Toronto’s middle — the stretch most relocators mean when they say “not downtown, not the suburbs.” For this guide, midtown runs from Bloor Street north to Lawrence Avenue, and from Dufferin Street east to Bayview Avenue: Yonge & Eglinton at the centre, with Casa Loma, Forest Hill, Davisville Village, Wychwood, Humewood, Leaside, Mount Pleasant, and Lawrence Park around it.
The mix is the draw: condo towers along Yonge, low-rise apartments and duplexes on the avenues, and some of the city’s finest detached streets a few blocks over. Our Yonge & Eglinton guide goes deep on the intersection and its buildings — this is the wider catchment, for buyers deciding where in midtown they belong.

The streets and pockets that define it
Yonge & Eglinton
The centre of midtown — two subway stations, the Yonge Eglinton Centre, and the condo buildings we know unit by unit. Our dedicated guide goes deep here.
Casa Loma
The castle on the hill and the streets around it — grand homes south of St. Clair, with the city spread out below.
Forest Hill
Some of Toronto’s finest homes on winding, tree-lined streets — the detached market at its most established.
Davisville Village
A village feel on Yonge between Davisville and Eglinton — low-rise streets with the subway close by.
Wychwood & Humewood
Artsy, community-minded pockets around St. Clair West — the Wychwood Barns, farmers’ market, and character semis.
Leaside & Mount Pleasant
East of Yonge: Leaside’s village shopping and Mount Pleasant’s cemetery-green streets — family territory.
Lawrence Park
Laid-back and leafy up by Lawrence — larger lots and a more suburban calm, still inside the city.

Line 1 runs straight through on Yonge — Eglinton, Davisville, St. Clair, and Lawrence stations. The Eglinton Crosstown LRT will add an east-west rapid line when it opens.
Is midtown good for families relocating to Toronto?
It is one of the most common landing spots: strong schools, ravines and parks, and a choice between condo living on Yonge and detached streets a few blocks over.
