Also known as Dundas West and Little Portugal, this vibrant area is beaming with culture. Rua Açores is lined with bakeries, restaurants, sports bars and markets giving shoppers a feast for their eyes and stomachs. To the south is Queen West, best known for chic and shabby mom-pop-shops offering a little bit of everything imaginable. It’s hip, trendy and filled of one-of-a-kind treasures. The centre of Beaconsfield is largely residential and local homes are well served by the TTC. What’s more is that the Gardiner expressway is a 5 minute commute making this neighbourhood a well-rounded winner.
